Based
on the 1980 feature film of the same name, 9 to 5 The Musical is the recipient
of four Tony Award nominations and has been enjoyed by many through several
national and international tour productions. Set in the late 1970s, a time long
before the social prevalence of female businesses powerhouses such as media
mogul Oprah Winfrey or Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, 9 to 5 The Musical
tells the story of Violet, Judy, and Doralee – three female coworkers who
concoct a plan to get even with the egotistical, lying, tyrant they call their
boss. In a hilarious turn of events, the
trio gets to live out their wildest fantasy of giving their boss the boot, giving
their office a serious makeover, and taking control of the company that
constantly dragged them down. High-energy musical numbers, and an intriguing
story filled with friendship, revenge, and even a little romance, are brought
to life on stage by Broadway Bound’s troupe of talented young performers.
“Our
program is no stranger to providing audiences with high-energy performances
that showcase the talent of the young performers in our community,” said
Michael Vojvodich, director and instructor of Broadway Bound. “The kids and I
are so excited for this production of 9 to 5 The Musical and we’re especially
excited to share the laughs and toe-tapping numbers with the audiences.”
Vojvodich’s credits include title roles in Jesus Christ Superstar and Jekyll
and Hyde, and collaborations with musical theater legends such as Jerry Herman,
Susan Egan, Michael McElroy and Marvin Hamlisch.
The
Broadway Bound program at Studio One’s Summerlin Dance Academy is the first of
its kind in Las Vegas not only to provide its students instruction in acting
technique, singing and dancing, but also to offer youth in the community
opportunities to be cast in full-scale, multi-show productions. Net proceeds
from Broadway Bound shows are donated to Broadway Bound Kidz, a non-profit
organization, which is committed to the enrichment, entertainment and education
of young people in a theater arts and dance environment.
