Get ready to clock in, the full cast has been revealed for the UK tour of 9 to 5 The Musical, and it's heading to the Pavilion Theatre, Worthing from Tuesday 25 to Saturday 29 August 2026. Tickets are on sale now, and this one is not to be missed.
Bringing sass, style, and a whole lot of Dolly sparkle, the talented line-up is headed by Jessica Martin (Me and My Girl, Adelphi Theatre; Jerry's Girls, Menier Chocolate Factory) as the fiercely loyal — and slightly unhinged — office manager Roz, alongside Tim Rogers (West Side Story, West End & UK Tour; Jesus Christ Superstar, UK & Europe Tour) as the boss you'll love to hate, Franklin Hart Jr.
Karla Tracey (Irish Affair; A Love Story for All Time, National Opera House, Ireland) plays Doralee, Kayla Carter (Military Wives, York Theatre Royal; I Should Be So Lucky, UK & Ireland Tour) plays Judy, and Jade Marvin (Starlight Express, Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre; Six, NCL) plays Violet.
They are joined by Sammy Graham (The Sound of Music, London Palladium) as Kathy, Ceris Hine (The Rocky Horror Show, UK Tour) as Margaret, Bradley Judge (Sister Act, West End & UK Tour) as Dwayne/Detective/Tinsworthy, Benjamin Karran (Les Misérables, West End) as Joe, Colin Kiyani (Flashdance, UK & International Tour) as Bob/Dick/Doctor, Alicia Mencía (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, West End) as Maria, Rodney Vubya (Titanique, Criterion Theatre) as Josh, and Jemima-Jane Willcox (Mary Poppins, UK and Ireland Tour) as Missy/Candystriper. The ensemble features Jamie Chidzey (Come From Away, Cunard), Beth Woodcock (Bat Out of Hell, UK Tour) and Ashley St John (Get Down Tonight, Charing Cross Theatre), who also serves as Dance Captain.
Jessica Martin said: "I can't wait to bring Roz out on tour in this hugely entertaining, sharp, sassy and subversive show! A tribute to the queen that is Dolly!" Tim Rogers adds: "It's going to be a blast!"
Inspired by the much-loved 1980s film, 9 to 5 The Musical follows three office workers who've had enough of their overbearing, chauvinistic boss. When a wild idea turns into a daring plan for revenge, chaos, comedy, and sisterhood take centre stage — all set to the irresistible score by country music legend Dolly Parton.
Director Paul Jepson, CEO and Creative Director at Landmark Theatres, said: "9 to 5 is a feel-good show with a big heart, seen from the point of view of three strong women whose friendship comes to rule the office world. Patriarchal male power behaviours are skewed. But all the characters have heart and soul — and most of all, dreams. I'm excited to be directing it and particularly excited that we will have our band on stage!"
The production is produced by Landmark Theatres by arrangement with Music Theatre International, and marks a major milestone as Landmark's first in-house production to tour nationally. The creative team includes Set and Costume Design by Amanda Stoodley, Musical Supervision by Mark Crossland, Lighting Design by Andy Purves, Sound Design by Chris Whybrow, and Assistant Direction by Sonny Nwachukwu.
Performances run Tuesday 25 to Saturday 29 August 2026, with evening shows at 7.30pm and Thursday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm. Lively, empowering, and outrageously funny — this is the show everyone will be talking about this summer.
