Veteran country star Dolly Parton is struggling to contain her nerves ahead of the Broadway debut of her stage show 9 TO 5: The Musical.

The legendary singer received rave reviews when the stage version of her hit 1980 movie 9 To 5 opened in Los Angeles last year (08).

But Parton – who wrote the score for the production – is battling fears ahead of its upcoming New York run, which begins on 07 April (09).

She says, “I’m anxious about it. I’ve been working on this for four years and the thing about Broadway is you could work four years and close the next night – or never open at all. Everything’s a chance.”

“If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing slowly . . .very slowly”

“Praying is like a rocking chair – it’ll give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere”
