Colette Peters gives the timid Judy a sort of wide-eyed openness which makes her character work. Hart - the boss - just as slimy and condescending as one would hope, another necessity.Īs the three who provide the show’s focus, Juliet Schulein makes a terrific Violet - commanding and fragile by turns, with an innate toughness that underscores everything in the show. The supporting players, especially Orlando Montes’ touching portrayal of Violet’s potential love interest, and Rachel McLaughlan, as Roz, the secretary comically obsessed with the boss the others abhor, round out the storyline and the feel of the piece in important ways.

Director John Vaughn’s pacing and choreography let an able ensemble set a vibrant tone for the increasingly happy workplace. Most certainly, the trappings are there and work very well. The only challenge, really, in this as in any production is finding the edgy vitality so necessary to the three central women who power the piece.

There is, of course, Parton’s songs - many of them significantly memorable - to provide the most important underpinning to the enterprise. Now at Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater in Claremont, the show stands up well for the most part. A visit by Santa and his wife, the highlight of the show, provides a touch of sprinkles with class and old-world charm as Santa reads letters to the North Pole, captivating dozens of children on stage.

This is not a good time for fans of dinner theater. With music by Dolly Parton, who originally wrote the title song for the film, it brought back the feisty trio of Violet, Judy and Doralee, whose kidnapping of their vindictive, sexist boss and subsequent running of the office in his name not only turns their company’s productivity around but empowers each of the women in ways they need most. (We now live 70 minutes away.) Its a tremendous experience.
