The Pascack Hills Players are set to return to the stage with “9 to 5 The Musical!” This high-energy show features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick that is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. 

Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot boss, Franklin Hart (Zachary Ligasan). In a hilarious turn of events, Violet (Rachael Lokshin), Judy (Shariany Then) and Doralee (Madeline Leibman) live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. 

Lokshin describes Violet as, “A no-nonsense middle-aged woman with a sharp sense of humor.” She says, “I’m very excited to join this cast of powerful female actresses and characters…it’s going to be an experience I remember for a while.” 

The show will be directed by Allison Andresini and choreographed by Adria Warfield with music direction by Nicole D’Angelo and scenic design by Pascack Hills alum Valentina Cannao.
