Long Island goes “9 to 5” in New Musical

The movie that Dolly Parton made so famous in the very early 80s is hitting the stage one more time. And while last time it was adapted into a musical it played right on Broadway, this time it’s Long Island that’s in for the treat. Running from July 18 — August 4 at the Patchogue Theatre, this time — just like the last — it’s chock full of stars.

The biggest name among them all is the fabulous Sally Struthers, who plays the executive assistant, Roz Keith, that’s constantly running to her boss to tell him what the other girls in the office are doing. That boss, Franklin Hart Jr., is played by Edward Staudenmayer, the president of Consolidated Companies, and the hard-nose that’s always trying to get the women of the office to work more, and gossip less.

But even with the big names, this play just wouldn’t be the same without all the original music that is still so well-known and much-loved today. And even though it may have been over two decades since she took up a role in the movie herself, all of that music is still original, written by Dolly Parton. Directing the music will be Andrew Austin, while Keith Andrew will oversee the direction of the play and Gerry McIntyre will be choreographing.

With the fast upbeat dance numbers and the general overall good feeling that this show always evokes, it’s easy to see how some would think it’s a show for everyone. However, due to adult language and content, this is one to keep the kids home.

If you want to see how one of the “100 Funniest Movies,” as proclaimed by the American Film Institute turned into a play, you’ve got to check it out for the limited-time showing that’s currently running in Long Island.
