Dolly Parton To Cast '9 To 5' Musical Stars Herself

Your Chance To Work 9 To 5 With Dolly

Country legend Dolly Parton has signed up to oversee casting of her 9 To 5 musical in Britain.

The stage show, based on Parton's 1980 film about three working women seeking revenge on their boss, is set to open in Manchester in October before a UK tour.

Wannabes trying out for 9 To 5: The Musical will have to impress the icon herself - Parton has announced she will be involved in the auditions.

She says: "I won't be touring this year at all but did you know that they're opening up 9 To 5: The Musical in Manchester... in October? On October the eighth!

"So I'm actually doing some work on that, helping them with the production on that and finding the people for it. That's taking a little of my time!"

The production, which opened in Los Angeles in 2009 before transferring to Broadway, isn't the only stage show Parton has in the works - she's also developing a musical version of her life story
