​9 to 5 the Musical Australia premiere opened its doors on WEDNESDAY, February 16 and will run till SUNDAY, April 17 at the Capitol Theatre Sydney and is presented to you by IP Publicity and Dolly Parton personally https://9to5themusical.com.au/
The countdown is on to the much anticipated Australian premiere of 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, Dolly Parton’s smash-hit West End musical, which will open in February at the Capitol Theatre, Sydney,
followed by seasons at the QPAC ~ Lyric Theatre Brisbane from May and the Arts Centre Melbourne, State Theatre from July. Internationally acclaimed and loved by audiences and critics alike, 9 TO 5 is pure gold carat fun! The producers have assembled a top line cast to inhabit these iconic and much loved roles. Marina
Prior will play Violet Newstead, a smart, sassy and efficient woman who has worked all her life at Consolidated Industries. She has all it takes to run the company but there is one small issue ... her
boss! Marina gained prominence as Cosette in the Australian premiere of Les Misérables and Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera, and has grown to become one of Australia’s most
accomplished leading ladies, playing lead roles in The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, The Secret Garden and countless other productions. Casey Donovan will be Judy Bernly, a newly separated, never worked before young woman who finds more than just a job at Consolidated Industries. Casey shot to stardom after winning Australian Idol as a 16 year old in 2004, and has since become an audience favourite in concert and in musical theatre. Most recently she played Matron Mama Morton in the smash hit musical Chicago, and has performed in The Flower Children, The Sapphires, Rent and We Will Rock You. Erin Clare will play Doralee Rhodes, a ‘don’t mess with me’ well-brought-up, bright and beautiful country gal. She may look like a push over but is anything but! Following her first starring role as Scaramouche in The Gordon Frost Organisation’s national tour of We Will Rock You, she has featured in Heathers the Musical, American Psycho, High Fidelity, American Idiot and Merrily We Roll Along. Caroline O’Connor plays busy-body Roz Keith, the administration assistant who is fiercely - and unrequitedly - in love with her boss Franklin Hart Jnr. Most recently seen in Melbourne Theatre Company’s Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Caroline has played lead roles on Broadway, in the West End, France and across Australia, including Chicago, Anything Goes, West Side Story, On The Town, Man of La Mancha, Bombshells, A Christmas Story and Anastasia to name just a few. Caroline also created the role of tango dancing Nini Legs in the Air in Baz Luhrmann’s Academy Award winning film Moulin Rouge. Eddie Perfect will play the controlling boss Franklin Hart Jnr. One of Australia's most respected and
prolific writers and performers, Eddie is perhaps best known as all-round nice guy Mick Holland on Channel 10’s hit series Offspring, and has been seen in Kath and Kim, Spicks And Specks and
numerous comedy shows including ABC TV’s Stand Up, The elbourne Comedy Festival Gala and Good News Week. On stage Eddie performed in Keating! The Musical, Misanthropology, The
Threepenny Opera and Shane Warne The Musical, which he wrote himself. In 2019, Eddie wrote the music and lyrics for the Broadway premiere of Beetlejuice, for which he was nominated for Best
Original Score at the 2019 Tony Awards.
Completing the cast are Lily Baulderstone, Ana Maria Belo, Zoe Coppinger, Mia Dabkowski-Chandler, Ben Gillespie, Emma Hawthorne, James Haxby, Emma Johns, Jay Johns, Ethan Jones,
Antonia Marr, Josh Mulheran, Tom New, Jake O’Brien, Matthew Prime, Jackson Reedman, Jordan Tomljenovic and Jessica Vellucci.
“I am so excited that Marina, Casey and Erin will be playing Violet, Judy and Doralee alongside Caroline and Eddie in the Australian cast of 9 TO 5,” said Dolly Parton. “The response to 9 TO 5 from
around the world has been incredible so far. I can't wait for everyone down under to have a fun (and funny!) night out at 9 TO 5.” Producers John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Suzanne Jones and Ambassador Theatre Group Productions said, “We’re thrilled with our glorious cast, led by Marina, Casey, Erin, Caroline and Eddie. Now 9 TO 5 is back in business with a full cast, theatres booked and audiences clamouring to buy tickets. So put on your Saturday best and join us for the most fun you’ll have all year at 9 TO 5.” A sensation on the West End and inspired by the hit film, the musical tells the story of Doralee, Violet and Judy, three enterprising workmates pushed to the edge by their mean-spirited boss Franklin Hart Jnr. Resorting to wit, comradery and cunning, they dream up a no holds barred scheme to kidnap and turn the tables on their controlling supervisor in the most hilariously defiant of ways. The only question is, will the feisty trio manage to change the office culture to reach their full potential - or will events unravel when the CEO pays an unexpected visit? With a sparkling score by Dolly Parton and a book by the iconic movie’s original screenwriter Patricia Resnick, 9 TO 5 is the quintessential feel-good show for the times. Full of mischief, laughter and affection, it’s gold carat fun!
Set the alarm for a great night out at Dolly Parton’s joyous smash-hit musical 9 TO 5, featuring knock-out songs and high-flying ambitions.

The third set with the white wig, is for the Crone, where a woman has become free from societal demands and with truly no more f*cks given, she has experienced and embodied all cycles and owns all of her Power, becoming the White Witch.

photographers, designers, writers, models, artists, stylists, MUAHs, artistic directors and others alike:
there is the challenge described:
NODUS TOLLENS
n. the realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore—that although you thought you were following the arc of the story, you keep finding yourself immersed in passages you don’t understand, that don’t even seem to belong in the same genre—which requires you to go back and reread the chapters you had originally skimmed to get to the good parts, only to learn that all along you were supposed to choose your own adventure.
The word comes from...
The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
ANNOUNCING COMPETITION
on the best concept / style photograph or set of photographs that will fit into the category "NODUS TOLLENS" with the focus on 'les garçons et les filles'
We publish the best photos in the coming summer issue of MARQUIS FASHION MAGAZINE

The works of art should be sent in the form of a direct dropbox link or direct wetransfer link with the full list of credits and your story of inspiration to accompany it
to natasha.marchev@gmail.com or in PM.
Your photos should be a highly acclaimed art in fashion - each image should be like a part of a collective story for the magazine pages therefore making it more readable for everyone who opens it.
good luck!

as part of #IDFW22 #AIDFW season 2022 (6th JAN 2022) https://aseanfashiondesignersshowcase.wordpress.com/asea.../ and https://thehomeground.asia/.../asean-international.../
⦁ Edwin Uy is an award-winning Philippine-based designer of Filipino, Chinese, and Spanish descent. He has a degree in Mathematics from the University of the East before taking his place in the fashion industry.
⦁ Edwin Uy has created a name in the Philippine fashion industry because of his beautiful and unique bridal ensembles. He balances creativity and wearability that is why his creations have appealed to so many brides. Edwin is also known for his versatility as a couturier because apart from his bridal and evening wear collections, he creates fabulous show-stopping costumes as well. His works has been used by top artists and celebrities in their major concerts and special events.
⦁ Edwin began his fashion design career in 1996. He started with bridal and entourage gowns for families and friend. His craftsmanship and fine detailing found its way through word of mouth and his clientele started to grow in number.
⦁ Since then, he became one of the top designers in the Philippine wedding industry and has dressed many high-profile weddings. He is an active member of the FWDP (Fashion by the Wedding Designers of the Philippines).
⦁ As a fashion designer, he has staged numerous fashion shows. One of the highlights of his career was his first gala in 2003 which earned positive reviews from fashion critics. Another high point in his designing career was when he staged a show at the World Trade Center for the benefit of ABS CBN’s Bantay Bata Foundation.
⦁ In 2008, he was tapped to dress up all the cover girls (politicians and celebrities) of Woman Today magazine in a show to celebrate their Silver Anniversary. Edwin is also an active participant of the annual Philippine Fashion Week since 2007.
⦁ In the early years of his career, Edwin dabbled into designing accessories for top couturiers. This gave him good exposure and inspired him to further hone his designing skills and clothes making. After a while, this became an advantage for Edwin because his accessories compliment his clothes.
⦁ Edwin is also called the “designer of the celebrities”. He has been dressing up showbiz personalities such as Francine Prieto, Jolina Magdangal, Ai Ai de las Alas, Jessa Zaragosa, Pia Guanio, Angela Velez, Mel Changco, Tuesday Vargas, Jenny Miller, Andrea del Rosario, Sheryn Regis, Rachel Anne Go, Louie Heredia, Jean and Janika Garcia, Tetchie Agbayani, Alessandra de Rossi and Bea Alonzo.
⦁ Edwin was also the creative designer of the fabulous costumes of pop divas Kuh Ledesma and Zsa Zsa Padilla in their first major concert together entitled “DIVA 2 DIVA” held at the Philippine International Convention Center in 2005. Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha also wore Edwin’s headdress for the opening number of her first major concert at the Araneta Coliseum.
⦁ More showstopper costumes and gowns by Edwin were also used by Vina Morales during her major concert at Araneta Coliseum in 2006. The First Lady of Bossa Nova, Sitti Navarro, wore Edwin’s beautiful gowns in two of her concerts at the Captain’s Bar of the Mandarin Hotel in Makati City.
⦁ In 2000 when he was commissioned these big names in the Philippine entertainment industry to design their couture, Edwin also started designing his first evening gown and national costume for an international pageant. When Peachy Manzano won Miss Tourism International in 2000, Edwin Uy began to be noticed.
⦁ In 2002, he created the national costume for April Rose Perez when she competed in the Miss Earth pageant in Manila, Philippines . His creation won 2nd place among 80 candidates. Despite the giant feat, Edwin did not pursue pageants until 2011. In that year, Edwin Uy took a 180-degree turn, used history for inspiration and won Best Designer of the Year in the Mutya ng Pilipinas.
⦁ In 2012, his Ifugao-Inspired dress worn by Nicole Schmitz won the Best National Costume in the Binibining Pilipinas Pageant. Schmitz eventually took home the Miss International crown.
⦁ In 2013, Edwin’s design won 2nd place in the Miss Earth pageant, his second for the contest and in an international pageant. The next year, he landed his first international Best National Costume Award worn by Hilarie Parungao at Miss Asia Pacific World 2014 .
