stage on broadway nashville
9 to 5, which played 148 performances on Broadway before closing in September 2009, is based on the 1980 film comedy about women working in an oppressive office. Dolly Parton penned entirely new music and lyrics for the show -- except for, of course, the title song.
DeGarmo was last seen on stage as Sheila in the Tony-winning revival of Hair. She was also the runner-up on the third season of American Idol, and is still the youngest contestant to reach the top two during the show's nine seasons (Fantasia Barrino was the eventual winner that season). Undoubtedly, she should have no trouble holding her own during the tour. Although no other official casting announcements have been made, Dee Hoty is expected to play the role of Violet Newstead.
The tour is scheduled to begin the week of Sept. 20 at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville, TN.

Melissa Etheridge Fearless Love Tour 2010
Ryman Auditorium, 116 Fifth Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37129 / Easily one of the greatest all-time female rock icons, singer-songwriter and musician, Melissa Etheridge is known for her mixture of confessional lyrics, pop-based folk-rock, and raspy vocals. "This album had to be about the songs," says Melissa Etheridge of her tenth studio album, Fearless Love. This is typical of Melissa, because putting the songs first is one of the hallmarks of her career. Those songs - "Bring Me Some Water," "Ain’t it Heavy," "I’m the Only One," "Come to My Window," "I Want to Come Over," "Angels Would Fall," "I Run for Life" and "I Need to Wake Up" among them—have rewarded her with five Platinum albums (including the multi-Platinum sets Melissa Etheridge, Your Little Secret and the six-million-selling Yes I Am), a pair of Grammys®, an Oscar®, an ASCAP Songwriter of the Year honor and the ASCAP Founders Award.
