Post from the Prez: NINE TO FIVE

Theater League president, Mark Edelman, talks about NINE TO FIVE The Musical:

Recently, I saw the new Broadway musical NINE TO FIVE, trying out at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. This one is a real winner. Allison Janney (from TV's The West Wing) stars in this stage adaptation of the movie with two WICKED veterans Megan Hilty (who plays the Dolly Parton role) and Stephanie Block (Lily Tomlin's part) co-starring.

It's very funny, and Dolly Parton has written a wonderful, warm, winning score. Speaking of WICKED, Joe Mantello directs the show just right. The choreography is very inventive; set is really cool and the rest of the cast-- including stand-out Kathy Fitzgerald from THE PRODUCERS-- is amazing.

I counted twelve Tony nominations without breaking a sweat. This is the one to see on Broadway (opens in the Spring, I think).
