In 2009, “9 to 5: The Musical” was nominated for four 2009 Tony awards.  
The touring production will be directed and choreographed by Tony nominated, Jeff Calhoun and will highlight Dolly Parton’s original hit title song, along with her new Tony Award and Grammy-nominated score. This musical will take the stage at the Fabulous Fox Theatre Feb. 8-20.

The show also features St. Louis’ own Marjorie Failoni.  Failoni is a swing cast member and associate choreographer for the show. She grew up in St. Louis and attended Rosati-Kain High School.

“It is so exciting to be able to come home and share this show with everybody,” Failoni said.

She also mentioned she would enjoy having the chance to get some Ted Drewes.

She performed quite a few shows at the MUNY while growing up and developing her musical career.

“It was a lot of fun and a great training ground for my career,” Failoni said.

This musical marked the Broadway debut for Parton, who will be making a cameo video appearance at the St. Louis show.

“[Parton] is so sweet, and she always brings us fudge wherever we are,” Failoni said.

The musical is based on the original 1979 movie. The story is about a chauvinistic boss who is constantly harasses and fails to professionally acknowledge the female employees in his company.  Three women, tired of the treatment they receive, decide to hold this discriminating boss hostage in his home.
These women then go on to run his company while keeping him in hiding.  The company flourishes and comedic problems ensue as these women attempt to keep their boss in hiding.

“We tried to think about what the movement was like in 1979 and what that era suggested to these office workers,” Failoni said. “We tried to maintain what was great about the movie and enhance it and make it a really fun time.  It’s two hours of fun.”
