Review: (Ottawa / Theatre) 9-5 The Musical

Revenge of the Working Girls

Patricia Resnick’s book and Dolly Parton’s lyrics are quite fun. Orpheus puts its energetic fun stamp on the stage version of the popular movie. This play is not Titanic or Fiddler on the Roof so go to it expecting to have some laughs and see some energetic performances and you should have a good time. There is s good message about equity for equal work and revenge on demanding misogynistic bosses who are short on imagination and quick on blame, but that is a byproduct of the fun and fancy.
