After 148 performances, 9 To 5: The Musical will close on Broadway this September.

The show, which opened at Manhattan’s Marriott Marquis Theatre on April 30, will halt production on Sept. 26.

9 To 5: The Musical — based on the screenplay of the hit 1980 film — was the Broadway debut of seven-time Grammy Award winning singing legend Dolly Parton, who composed the show’s original score.

Dolly says she couldn’t be more proud of the show’s reception on the Great White Way.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience on my first Broadway show,” said Dolly Parton. “I’ve had the privilege of working with an amazing group of people who have become like family to me. I can’t wait for this show to hit the road so people across the country can see why I’m so proud of everyone involved. And I’m so pleased that we’ll be opening the tour in Nashville. Great things happen in Nashville.”

9 To 5: The Musical was nominated for four 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, Best Actress in a Musical (Allison Janney), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Marc Kudisch), and Best Choreography.
