ART TAP episode 119 - 9 to 5: the Musical

 


On tap this week is a trio of performers preparing to bring what is now a modern classic to the area stage. We have three singer/performers, the female leads of “9 to 5: the Musical,” coming to Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette… Caitlin Cotten, who is a previous guest on ART TAP, Kate Martin, also a previous guest and, by chance, my daughter, and Esther Kirgiss, a newcomer to the area.

The three talk about their influences to perform publicly, as part of lives with other endeavors in Lafayette Symphony (https://lafayettesymphony.org), Purdue Bands and Orchestras (https://www.purdue.edu/bands/), and a new local eatery, The Lobby (https://thelobbybygreyhouse.com). And they talk about the legacy of the 1980 movie, its iconic characters, the legendary actors who brought them to life on the screen and on stage, and the variations between the movie and the eventual Broadway show. 

There is more Florida Man to share, and a common crafting influence led to the quote of the episode, “You just gotta glue some shit together sometimes.”

“9 to 5: the Musical” comes to Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette from September 7th to 16th. Tickets are available at lafayettecivic.org
