Review of 9 to 5 The Musical

On Wednesday 22nd May sixteen members had a wonderful day out at the Savoy Theatre. Eight members met at Burnham station at 11.00 am and two were already on the train from Southminster. Two members of Crouch Valley U3A also joined our jolly group at South Woodham Ferrers station. Once arriving at Liverpool Street station, we split up into various groups to spend the time either going shopping or having lunch before the show. All sixteen of us met up at the Theatre for the start of the show, where I was very pleased with our rows of seats in the dress circle.

Dolly Parton popped up in video footage to introduce the show to the audience. From my point of view, the cast, including Bonnie Langford, Louise Redknapp, Natalie McQueen, Amber Davis and Brian Conley all contributed to a hilarious performance.

I have received a few comments from those that attended: – It was a brilliantly funny show, I thoroughly enjoyed it, a lovely day out, great show, fun, easy watching (a little noisy!).

It was a shame about the quick exit from the theatre (the theatre had a fire alarm practice and we were all ushered out very quickly) as we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to everybody. Thank you to all those that came along and made it an excellent day out.
