β€œYes, this show is a spectacle, complete with fantasy dance sequences performed with polish and pizzazz by the cast... But at the heart of 9 to 5 are issues that many audience members will be able to relate to first-hand. The story speaks to the here and now, and at its core lies the message of valuing one’s self-worthβ€”not just eight hours a day, but 24/7.” - Stir Vancouver
