"Based on the hilarious hit 1980 movie of the same name, 9 to 5 is a musical comedy set in the early 1980s that focuses on three working women who get revenge on their sexist boss. While it didn't have a long Broadway run, it's a very funny and even uplifting musical with a charming score by Dolly Parton, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song for the film's infectious title tune, and a book by the film's co-screenwriter Patricia Resnick. With perfect leads, fun choreography, and solid direction, Mesa Encore Theatre's production is one the best shows I've seen produced from them, the oldest community theatre in the Phoenix area."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
