9 to 5: The MusicalWhen three overworked, underestimated women decide they’ve had enough of their sexist, egotistical boss, they turn the workplace upside-down in a whirlwind of wit, rebellion, and friendship. What follows is a raucous, heart-thumping reminder that when we stand together, change isn’t just possible — it’s unstoppable. Filled with dazzling energy, unforgettable songs, and the unmistakable sparkle of Dolly’s humor and heart, 9 to 5: The Musical celebrates the dreamers, the doers, and everyone who’s ever dared to rewrite the rules. Waco’s own Holly Tucker steps into Dolly Parton’s high heels as Doralee Rhodes — and she’s every bit as unforgettable! Performances run Feb. 12th through March 1st - Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm & Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30pm.
