The original early Broadway stuff never had Dolly on, right from before Out of Town even before the cast were announced it just had the bubble writing logo.
Bonnie Langford, who will play nosey office manager Roz in the musical 9 To 5, with Jackie Clune as Violet (Lily Tomlin in the film), Natalie Casey as Judy (Jane Fonda in movie), and Amy Lennox (pictured below) as Doralee — the part played by Dolly Parton in the picture. Ben Richards plays the boss. The musical features a score by Ms Parton, who also had final word on the casting, and has been extensively reworked since it ran on Broadway a few seasons back. It will begin performances at the Manchester Opera House Theatre from October 12, with a gala opening night on October 16 — with Ms Parton in attendance. As she told me a while back: ‘I wouldn’t miss it because I believe in this show and I love your country.’ There you go.
