Yesterday I brought you the sad news that 9 to 5: The Musical was going to be shut down but I had hoped they would go on tour so that the rest of us would be able to see the show. Well ask and you shall receive apparently because now comes this bit of happy news from Playbill.com....the show will go on - on tour that is.
The Broadway production will close its doors on September 6th after just 148 performances and 24 previews, but then will head out on a national tour with their first show to be performed in Nashville the week of Sept. 20, 2010, at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
"I couldn't have asked for a better experience on my first Broadway show," stated Dolly Parton. "I've had the privilege of working with an amazing group of people who have become like family to me. I can't wait for this show to hit the road so people across the country can see why I'm so proud of everyone involved. And I'm so pleased that we'll be opening the tour in Nashville. Great things happen in Nashville."
Now if I can just get them to head out west to Idaho I'll be one happy camper.
