Dolly on Me Too and ‘9 to 5’

Nearly 40 years after playing a secretary who takes revenge on her sexist boss in “9 to 5”, Dolly Parton again beat the drum for gender equality at the West End premiere of a musical version of her hit 1980 movie.

The country superstar joined the cast of “9 to 5 The Musical” for the curtain call at the end of Sunday’s official opening in London.

She hoped the show would help shine a light on sexual misconduct and gender inequality which remain issues of concern.

She also confirmed there would be a “9 to 5” movie sequel, starring the original cast of herself, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
