9 to 5 The Musical, Presented by Lisa and Ron Hunt at Riverside Theatre Few films from 1980 have aged quite like 9 to 5 , the workplace comedy that became a genuine cultural phenomenon, spawned one of Dolly Parton's most recognizable songs, and still makes people laugh out loud more than four decades later. I watched the movie for the first time over the weekend in anticipation of Riverside's upcoming production, and Parton's infectious anthem has been stuck in my head ever
