Bournemouth and Boscombe Light Opera Company have this week celebrated another fantastic production at Bournemouth Pavilion. Running from Wednesday 14 - Saturday 17 October 2026, BBLOC's latest production '9 to 5 The Musical' is based on the iconic 1980 hit film.

This high-energy musical comedy is set in the late 1970s and follows three determined women - Violet, Judy, and Doralee - who have had enough of their overbearing, sexist boss. Dreaming of a better workplace, they join forces to take control of their office and transform their working lives in the most unexpected and hilarious ways.

With a sparkling score by Dolly Parton, including the beloved title song “9 to 5,” this feel-good production is packed with humour, heart, and a powerful message about friendship, equality, and standing up for yourself. Full of catchy songs, lively choreography, and laugh-out-loud moments, 9 to 5 the Musical celebrates the strength of women working together to make positive change.
