While we are far from reaching gender equity in the workforce, it’s safe to say we’ve made some progress since Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin skewered their misogynistic boss in the 1980 film comedy 9 to 5. Still, the story of three women uniting in solidarity against the patriarchy feels particularly timely in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Foothill Music Theatre is staging the Broadway musical adaptation of Parton’s beloved comedy. The production features original music from the country icon, as well as a cast of women who have worked in a multitude of jobs all over the valley. (SM)
