PLOT:

Alarm clocks rattle as secretaries Doralee, Violet, and just-hired Judy tumble out of bed for another wild workday at Consolidated Industries. Under the hellish rule of Executive Franklin Hart, Jr., Judy has an awful first day, Violet is passed over for promotion, and Doralee discovers that Hart is telling everyone they’re having an affair. After a series of 9 to 5 days jampacked with injustices (and an accidental act of retribution), these three unlikely friends team up to terminate their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot of a boss, once and for all. Based on the 1980s movie of the same name, the hair is big, and tensions are high as this revenge musical comedy imagines the possibilities of a fair and inclusive workplace where empowered and impassioned people can climb to the top of the corporate ladder.

Judy: Is the company’s ‘newbie’. After her husband’s affair, she gets a job in hopes of finding empowerment and stability. She is insecure, yet smart, determined, and hopeful.

Franklin Hart: A notorious chauvinist and egotistical lech. He is an executive at Consolidated Industries who is capable of faking charm, but usually shows his true colors as an arrogant, self-absorbed boss.
