I am really not very surprised by "9 to 5" leading the competition. First off - the show was marketed up the wazoo - and with Parton at the helm of the score - its like what Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons did to revitalize Broadway - but this time a theme park queen is driving the boat. The design I hear is very centered around modern technology - with projections and automated scenery being highly utilized. Also not of surprise is the fact that Joe Montello is directing. He has had great success with "Wicked," Assassins," and "Glengarry Glen Ross." I find this to be a sad fact - but "9-5" just might score big this season.
