Based on the iconic movie, and featuring an Oscar-nominated score written by the Queen of Country herself, this tongue-in-cheek tale of kidnapping and girl power tells the hilarious story of three workmates pushed to boiling point by their sexist boss.

'9 to 5: the Musical' will run at the Arthur Cotterell Theatre from 26th-29th October.
