Bonnie Langford and Ben Richards lead 9to5 musical

[AnythingGoes23]

Bonnie Langford and Ben Richards will lead 9 to 5 musical with Natalie Casey.

Full casting will be revealed tomorrow I believe

The show has the West End firmly in view with pleasing sales being reported already in the regions

Baz has the other leads

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.

Aside from Amy Lennox, can't say its an exciting cast

Oh god, Natalie singing Get Out and Stay Out? WTF, She could not sing at all in The Wedding Singer. What horrid casting.

Bonnie Langford is amazing! I've never been fussed on seeing this show (avoided it when in New York) but Bonnie's presence alone has just persuaded me to get to see this.

[songanddanceman2]

She has a very small roll if you she is playing Roz

[jamiekennywicked]

Anyone know when the full cast is to be announced?

[Scripps2]

Mmmmmmmmm, Ben Richards.

He can work me 9 to 5.

[AngusN]

Natalie Casey??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I completely agree with you songanddanceman. I want my money back. Argh!!!!

[Princeton Returns]

Good to see Ben Richards is back working and obviously made a full recovery.

Natalie Casey, no, just no!

[MamasDoin'Fine]

Odd casting all round!

[songanddanceman2]

The thing that shocks me is that Dolly has been involved in casting (apparently), did she not hear Natalie sing. The only reason i was going to the show is for a couple of songs, one of them Get Out and Stay Out, but with Natalie singing it, i think i will pass

[Phantom of London]

A show that i thought would never make it to the UK shores, so will be worth a trip to Wimbledon.
