~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Johnny and I went to a Best of Broadway Musical this past week. We saw
9 to 5, the Musical, and laughed our heads off. We heard good music, and saw plenty of
blue, our favorite color. Dolly Parton wrote both the lyrics and the music, so you know we were tapping our feet.
Here's an official description:
Set in 1979, the story of three unlikely acquaintances try to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do.
"9 to 5: The Musical" features some well-known Broadway names. Diana DeGarmo, a third-season "American Idol" finalist, plays the role of Dorelee, a part made famous in the film by Dolly Parton. Sharing the stage are: three-time Tony Award nominee Dee Hoty as Violet, Broadway veteran Mamie Parris as Judy and Joseph Mahowald as Franklin Hart Jr.
Dorelee is supposed to be from Texas, so Diana DeGarmo used a high-pitched, thick accent. I lived in Texas for one year, and I've never heard anyone speak with such an accent! This detracted as it was a bit difficult to understand the words when she spoke quickly. Even if she meant to sound like Dolly, a Tennessee native, the accent was too phony for me. All other actors were as clear as bells. In any case, we had a good night. Any time there's laughter, I like it. Therefore, I'd recommend it.

ReplyDeleteI always enjoy going to live shows but rarely have had a chance. This one looks fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!!!
I haven't watched a play for a long time. Seems like watching 9 to 5 is a lot of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteWoops I hit enter twice. Sorry. I am getting better thought. My daughter moved to Texas 15 years ago when she got married. It is amazing how much she has picked up the accent.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday Sally!

ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to all!
ReplyDeleteI did not know they set this up as a Musical. I saw the movie and it was really fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, I remember seeing 9 to 5 back when it first came out. It's nice to read about the musical and I'm interested to learn that Diana from American Idol is in it - she is from a small town near where I live in GA! Sounds like a great, fun musical. I am finally linking up with all of you for Blue Monday. Thanks for being a gracious hostess!
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun evening
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, I loved the movie 9 to 5! It was perfect timing when I was working in New York...I guess I could relate. Watching this as a live show should be awesome.
ReplyDelete♥, Susan
Good you enjoyed yourselves!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday Sally!
Hello Miss Sally...
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday..
I was a big fan of this movie as I love Dolly!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see this on stage.
What fun seeing 9 to 5 on stage! The movie was great and seeing it in person must have been a real treat!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Day!
Coralie
That must have been so much fun. I loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Sally.♥
I've seen the film loads of times, didn't know it was a musical to start with!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
I never see aMusical. This time is Mamma Mia … but only in Paris.
ReplyDeleteI don't if trey export 9 to 5, the Musical one day …
Happy blue Monday (We don't work today)
Good morning Sally, I loved the movie 9 to 5. I would love to see this play. Our small town probably will not be included in this production. I know you enjoyed this chance to be entertained. I really liked Diane DeGarmo on Idol. I am happy for her apparent success.
ReplyDeleteOur color here is really about gone. Winter, here we come. We just ordered a heated bed for Cheri'. What a spoiled puppy. Check my PS post. Cheri' is posing as an elephant. Smile. She keeps us laughing.
Have a wonderful day.
Warm hugs, Jeanne
That's so funny Sally. A woman at the Halloween party we went to yesterday was telling us all about the musical she had seen, 9 to 5, The Musical. She also loved it. Hope we can get together somewhere soon.

My husband and I were big fans of Dolly Parton. He thought she was it. I remember seeing the movie very well. Loved it and glad some of her music has made to Broadway. She came from very humble means, but she is one smart cookie.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, playing along again.
ReplyDeleteLive musical show is always fun!
Happy Blue Monday Sally!long time no see ~lol~ looks like you had a great time
ReplyDeleteHelen
Happy Halloween... my post is scary.....
ReplyDeleteHello! I´ve seen the movie a lot of times, but didn´t know there was a musical.
ReplyDeleteToday I´m hungry:-)
Regards from Sweden
Happy BLUE MONDAY!
I grew up in Texas, and most people there don't sound the way people think they do. People were amazed in college that I didn't have a "Texas accent."
ReplyDeleteWell this is an original than high school musical..hehe
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. That floor is really blue!
Valerie
What fun!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the movie -
I'll bet the play was marvelous.
Happy Monday, Sally!
Grandmother Wren
So glad you got to see that musical. I bet it was a blast.
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie! Happy Blue Monday!
I love going to live performances..the singing and dancing is always great..have a fun day..Baba
ReplyDeleteHi Sally... one of my favorite movies! Glad you enjoyed the show despite DeGarmo's over-acting.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, and Happy Blue Monday!
...Karen
Thanks for checking the link, it seems the link i copied was missed before publishing the post.
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved that movie! But this Texas girl would have found the accent distracting, too! Too bad...
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Sally this looks amazing and fun to watch
ReplyDeletehttp://www.jnjmilestones.com/2010/10/off-to-trick-or-treat.html
Hi, Sally! I'm back to blogging after being away for a LONG time! I also found something BLUE! It sounds like the musical was a fun time for y'all. Being a native Deep Southerner, I'm always amused when I hear a fake Southern accent. I know very few Southerners who actually do sound that bad, and that's usually some guy who likes to pretend he's some Big Daddy plantation-owner type. They generally fake up their accents, too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, I remember the MOVIE --but didn't know there was a musical... I'm sure it was fabulous. We'd love it....
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh that sounds like so much fun Sally! I love the movie 9 - 5. I grew up in Texas and have a pretty thick accent so that ladies must have been pretty bad lol Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, This sounds like it would be so much fun. I love anything on a live stage and especial musicals. I hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fun play to see, Sally! I loved the movie 9 to 5.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
The play sounds like a lot of fun! Makes me want to take in a musical again sometime!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have such experience, watching a musical. thanks for sharing Sally!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds interesting. I like listening to old music. Though I'm not familiar to that though. Glad you and your hubby enjoyed your time together.
ReplyDeleteMy Blue Monday Here

I enjoyed the movie with Dolly Parton a lot. I always love to see her and hear her talk. She has a wonderful personality. I generally enjoy musicals too so I am sure this would be right up my street.
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie "9 to 5", so I can only imagine how much fun the show would be!
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Sally, what a wonderful night. I'm just thrilled that you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteYou are always most creative with your blues girl and never ever disappoint. :o)

Sally, that sounds like a lot of fun! That is one of my favorite movies, so I know the musical version would be neat!
