Leading the way as one of the first full scale musicals to tour the UK in 2021, Louise will appear in the show from Tuesday, November 9 - Saturday, November 13, 2021 at the Sunderland Empire.

Dolly Parton said: “I am so proud that 9 to 5 will be coming back soon to theatres all across the UK. Louise has been wonderful since she led the show in the West End and we're all so excited to give audiences the best night out after we have all waited so long!”.
9 To 5 The Musical features a book by Patricia Resnick, the legendary film’s original screenwriter, and an original Oscar, Grammy and Tony award-nominated score by country legend and pop icon Dolly Parton.
It tells the story of Doralee, Violet and Judy - three workmates pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss.
