Darren Webster, musical director, said: "Dolly Parton's music is iconic, and it's been an absolute blast working with this talented cast to bring those songs to life.
"From stellar vocals to gorgeous harmonies, the musicality in this production is top tier."
Aiofe McLeod, choreographer, said: "The dancing in this show is explosive - it's fun, fabulous, and full of sass.
"We've really leaned into the era, the office antics, and of course, the fierce individuality of each character.
"The students have absolutely smashed it."
The show will feature a cast of students, many of whom will be making their final appearance before graduating this summer.
This performance will be the final show for the college's graduating Year 3 students.

Charlotte Forbes, director, said: "This show is such a celebration of resilience, female empowerment, and joy.
"Our cast have worked so hard to bring this story to life with authenticity and humour - it's been a true privilege to direct them.
"Every rehearsal has been filled with laughter and determination, and I know audiences will feel that energy on stage."
Reece Donnelly, producer and principal of the Theatre College, said: "Every single student involved in this show has poured their heart into this performance.
"It's more than a show - it's a tribute to what theatre can do for young people.
"And for our graduating students, it's a final bow they'll never forget."
Tickets for the show are on sale now and can be purchased on the ticket source website.
