For most of us, when we think of Dolly Parton, we think of country music. But the longtime star (also known for her figure) also has Broadway ties. Her feature film, Nine to Five was adapted into 9 To 5: The Musical and features original scores by the songstress. The show — which stops into Ovens Auditorium Oct. 5-10 — is about doing what you gotta do to get to where you need to be. Trio of female friends who take charge of their lives and get some revenge in the process. Now, that’s killing two birds with one stone. $20 and up. Oct. 5-7, 7:30 p.m.; Oct. 8, 8 p.m.; Oct. 9, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; Oct. 10, 1:30 and 7 p.m. Ovens Auditorium, 2700 E. Independence Blvd. 704-372-1000. www.blumenthalcenter.org.
