00:00Good evening. Before we begin tonight's performance of 9 to 5, we would like to take a moment to
00:06remember the remarkable Dolly Parton, who has sadly passed away today. 9 to 5 was originally
00:13written and produced by Dolly, whose extraordinary talent, creativity and spirit are woven into
00:20every part of this work. Tonight, we will perform the piece as she intended, with great respect
00:28and affection for the woman whose vision brought it to life. Our thoughts are with Dolly's
00:34family, friends and all those around the world who loved and admired her. So as we begin,
00:42we dedicate tonight's performance to Dolly Parton, with our deepest thanks for the music,
00:48laughter and joy she gave us. Thank you, Dolly.
01:02I do hope you loved it, and if you didn't, just keep your mouth shut. Thank you and good night.
