Royal City Musical Theatre presents…
April 25 to May 11, 2025
The Massey Theatre, New Westminster
Music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. Book by Patricia Resnick.
Based on the seminal 1980 hit movie.
A Hilarious Story of Friendship and Revenge in the Rolodex Era!
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers - office manager Violet, frazzled divorcée Judy, and sultry secretary Doralee - concoct a plan to get even with the “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” they call their boss.
In a hilarious turn of events, the ladies live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot, their workplace a dream makeover, and taking control of the company that had always kept them down.
Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
Maia Beresford as Doralee. Irene Karas Loeper as Violet. Madeleine Suddaby as Judy.
