The Capitol Theatre was abuzz with alarm bells a-ringin’ and that cousin country soul sister voice of Dolly Parton welcoming Sydney with open arms and a knockout voice to her mind-blowing musical, ‘9 to 5’ this Wednesday eve. Clock in your hours, it’s time to go see Dolly’s passion and vision. What a Parton way to make a livin’!
Dolly Parton is the music and lyrical genius behind 9 to 5, so you know prior to going that it is bound to be a note-orious night! Dolly Parton, the imaginative melodious Missus behind this musical.
Featuring an all-star Aussie cast, some of which had incredible stellar standout and side-splitting performances, please take a bow now Caroline O’Connor! Ok, you know you deserve one too Eddie Perfect! Backed up by outstanding vocals from leading ladies Erin Clare, Casey Donovan and Marina Prior. And if that isn’t enough to get you there, THEY are backed up by a BEAUtiful backside!
Dynamic technical media production qualities, with screen projection proving very effective as a backdrop. Both fans of the iconic movie and those who know nothing of it will find themselves chuckling at the witticisms and bopping along to this outstanding performance.
After seeing 9 to 5 one thing’s for sure. If a man ever sleaze’s up on you again, you’ll have a few hilariously amusing tricks up your sleave, this one courtesy of Dolaree Rhodes. “If you ever say another word about me or make another indecent proposal, I'm gonna get that gun of mine... And I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!”
