9to5

Leamington & Warwick Musical Society performed 9 to 5, featuring the music and lyrics of Dolly Parton. Set in the late 1970’s it follows Voilet, Doralee and Judy in the workplace and having to deal with the chauvinistic boss.

The principal cast is led by the three women Voilet (Lizzie Buckingham) Doralee (Nelle Cross) and Judy (Zoe Hobman) these three fully embodied their roles with great effect and had some excellent musical numbers with wonderful chemistry and comedic timing between them. 

Franklin Hart Jnr (David Walters) was excellent as the unlikeable boss as was Roz (Lucy Maxwell) his secret admirer. Both portrayed their characters well with some good comedy timing to their performances.

The principal cast was completed by Joe (Andrew Thomas) which is a smaller role and was played with the gentleness it required.

The remaining cast also took some of the cameos with great effect and worked well.

There were some lovely musical numbers. Although the band was a touch loud occasionally.

The lighting and set added to an enjoyable evening’s entertainment.
