9 to 5 is a campy revenge comedy, rife with workplace sexism and fantasized violence. There is mild language and mild sexual content throughout, plus one instance of simulated cannabis use. The musical closely follows the plot and tone of the movie upon which it is based, which has a PG rating.

Please note: A gun is fired onstage in this production.
