What do Footlose, The Bridges of Madison County, The Addams Family and Legally Blonde have in common? They are all popular movies that became hit Broadway musicals. While the transition from film to the musical stage is now very common, it wasn't always the case. One of the best examples is 9 to 5 The Musical, a rollicking and tuneful take on the well-known 1980 movie starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Local audiences will be able to get in on the fun when CGOA Stages presents 9 to 5 The Musical, opening May 9 at The Columbia Center for the Arts.Just about everyone knows Dolly Parton's greatest hits, but a completely original score.
The Musical premiered in 2009 and it's score was nomited for several Tony Awards. The music covers a wide range of styles from country to pop and traditional Broadway show tunes, all with a huge amount of audience appeal.
Younger audiences might not remember the movie, which notably for it's time highlighted workplace sexism and the frustration many women shared about working for egotistical and dishonest bosses. Of course that's a serious topic, but the movie and the musical both share a wicked sense of humor and fun while still shedding light on an important theme that sadly remains relevant in 2025. Emily Vawter, one of the musical's leading performers said that ''the musical is better than the film, because with Dolly's music and lyrics the characters have more heart and depth.''
Described as an ''hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rodolex Era'', 9 to 5 The Musical is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. Unlike many broadway musicals, it highlights a strong female cast, making it a favorite with community theatres. Local Veteran actors Emily Vawter, Jennifer Harty and Cynthia Yoshida cover the original roles played by Parton, Tomlin and Fonda. Jim Yue plays boss Franklin Hart. The Musical is directed by Ashly Will, who directed last season's Bat Boy The Musical.

CRUISE THE GORGE IS ON! AUGUST 8-10, 2025Kicking off with the “Neon Cruise” Friday evening, downtown The Dalles. It’s an “open” cruise, just like back in the day, so just show up and start showing off (NO burnouts however). It starts around 7pm and runs until 9:45. This is the favorite part of the weekend for many of the locals, and the sidewalks up and down 2nd and 3rd streets fill up with appreciative and enthusiastic spectators. Several downtown businesses will be having special events during the cruise. You can also pre-register for the Saturday show at Burgerville on 3rd St. between 4 and 7 pm.
Then Saturday brings the “Show in the Shade” on the grass in beautiful SOROSIS PARK, 300E Scenic Dr. Registration opens at 9am, judging until 1pm, and the Parade of Champions awards ceremony beginning at 2pm. Goodie bags and dash plaques to the 1st 250 vehicles. $20 pre-entry. $25 after July 31. 40+ awards, food and specialty vendors, oldies music and plenty of raffle prizes, plus Dennis Gage will be filming an episode for “My Classic Car” TV!
Then Saturday evening features the Eagles/Elks Cruise Nite from 5 to 7pm at the lodge, 2006 W 7th, The Dalles.
Finally, if you want one more chance to trophy, there’s the Dufur Classic Car Show, on Sunday in the Dufur Community Park, just 13 miles South of The Dalles, starting at 9am.
So, one day, two days or all three, how much fun do you want to have?
