  • Summary

  • “9 to 5: The Musical” playing at the Metropolis Theater in downtown Arlington Heights is a kind of women’s lib version of “How to Succeed in Business.”

    While his wife is away on a four week cruise a trio of women manage to hog tie and subdue their boss in his home. Signing his name to numerous memos they commence making much appreciated changes and improvements to staff morale and office productivity.

    It may be difficult for some younger people today to consider that the glass ceiling for women was very real.

    In some level this show seems archaic and simply a retrospective romp but it also serves as a cautionary tale, a reminder that chauvinist and misogynist thinking still prevails in some circles and there are those who would love to turn back the clock.
