NEW YORK — “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had as a songwriter,” Dolly Parton twanged Tuesday as she announced that the stage version of “9 to 5: The Musical” would open on Broadway next spring.
“I feel like Minnie Pearl! I’m just so glad to be here,” Parton cooed in a Times Square studio with the cast and creative team for the musical, which is in its second week of rehearsal.
The show, based on the 1980 film in which Parton starred with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, begins a tryout Sept. 3 in Los Angeles. The musical will be directed by Joe Mantello, the director of “Wicked.” The Associated Press
