Stuart Ayres Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney MEDIA RELEASE Thursday 12 September NSW SECURES AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE OF 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL The NSW Government has further bolstered the State’s stellar line-up of world-class events, after securing the Australian premiere of 9 to 5 The Musical. Based on the iconic 1980 film by the same name, 9 to 5 The Musical is coming to the Sydney Lyric Theatre in April 2020 and will feature the music and lyrics of American country music star Dolly Parton. Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres said securing 9 to 5 The Musical for Sydney is a big win for the NSW visitor economy. “Major events like this are crucial in helping to drive significant levels of visitation to our State, which in turn turbocharges local economies, generates jobs and drives investment,” Mr Ayres said. “We anticipate that this season of 9 to 5 The Musical from April 2020 will attract more than 27,000 visitors to Sydney who will stay more than 73,800 nights and spend close to $23 million. “Dolly Parton is embedded in global pop culture, so I am delighted NSW has secured this Australian premiere of 9 to 5 The Musical. It joins the recently announced Hamilton and Disney’s Frozen in a long-list of world-class musicals and theatre productions the NSW Government has secured for our State since 2011.” Producers John Frost and Suzanne Jones said, “We are thrilled to be bringing 9 to 5 The Musical to Australia and to hold the Australian premiere in Sydney. The response from audiences and critics to the show in the UK has been incredible, with the West End season extended multiple times. Dolly Parton’s wonderful musical has been embraced worldwide.” Tickets on sale from Friday 13 September at 4pm. Head to 9to5themusical.com.au .

Chatting with the Stars: Stephanie J. Block with a Score by Dolly Parton
Chatting with the Stars: Stephanie J. Block With a score by Dolly Parton, the new Broadway production of 9 to 5: The Musical has been delighting audiences at Broadway’s Marquis Theatre since it began previews this spring. Stephanie J. Block plays Judy Bernly, the downtrodden secretary originated in the similarly titled film by Jane Fonda. Block is no stranger to Broadway audiences or to theatregoers across North America. She created the role of Elphaba for the first national tour of Wicked, a role she recently reprised in New York. On Broadway she has also been seen in The Boy from Oz and The Pirate Queen. The afternoon before 9 to 5: The Musical’s official opening night, she sat down in her dressing room with correspondents Ben Pesner and Sam Corbett to chat about her career and upcoming solo CD. Q: Talk a little bit about Dolly Parton as a Broadway composer. Stephanie J. Block: Dolly comes from the Tennessee mountains. That’s what she’s familiar with, but she’s such a musician in every sense. If one were to say, “Write a song for this character,” or, “Write a song for this plotline,” or “Write a song for this experience,” she will do it quickly and beautifully. Or if one were to say, “These lyrics don’t quite feel like they’re moving the story along,” or “This doesn’t quite feel like the voice of the character,” she will walk away, grab whatever’s there--a napkin, a paper plate--and she’ll just start writing.

The Musical in This Issue: Page 2 CREDITS the History of 9 to 5
IMAGINATION CREATIVITY INNOVATION APR 2016 Technology of the 1970s Office VOLUME VII, NUMBER 8 Typewriters An electric typewriter of the 1970s used a metal ball with raised letters that would press ink directly onto paper with each key pressed. While the typewriter did some formatting automatically, it is nothing compared with the ease of creating an MS Word document today. Most of the formatting had to be done manually. Further, there was no backspace button. Minor mistakes could be corrected by immediately switching to a mode that typed over the mistake in white ink. Whiteout or Liquid Paper could also be used to correct minor mistakes. However, if major changes needed to be made, the entire document had to be retyped. Carbon Paper Carbon paper was a sheet of paper with a loose coating of ink that could be placed between two sheets of paper in the typewriter to make two simultaneous copies. This was often used so a company could maintain a copy of all outgoing correspondence. Mimeographs and Duplicators The mimeograph, or duplicator machine, was used when multiple copies of a document were needed. To use it, a stencil was created by typing into a special kind of stencil paper, which was wrapped around the ink-filled cylinder of the mimeograph. Once the stencil was fixed, a crank was turned that would pull paper under the stencil, creating a copy. Each stencil could only make so many copies before it started to break down and a new stencil had to be made. Xerox Machines Photocopy machines did come into popularity in the 1970s, but Xerox machines were not in widespread use as they are today.
