Based on the 1980 film with the same name, the musical boast music and lyrics by Dolly Parton herself! It is an office satire about three female secretaries who decide to get revenge on their tyrannical, sexist boss. The trio, one of whom has been passed over for promotion because she is a woman, one who has the boss telling everyone she is having an affair with him, and one whose husband cheated on and abandoned her forcing her into the workplace for the first time, spend an evening together having hilarious fantasies of killing the slave-driving chauvinist. One of them panics the following day when she suspects she really has poisoned the tyrant.
