THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is a
high-spirited musical romp that has
all of New York dancing the
Charleston. It’s the zany new 1920’s
musical that has taken Broadway by
storm, winning the TONY Award for
BEST MUSICAL!
Taking place in New York City in
1922, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE tells
the story of young Millie Dillmount,
who has just moved to the city in
search of a new life for herself.
It’s a New York full of intrigue and
jazz - a time when women were
entering the workforce and the rules
of love and social behavior were
changing forever. Based on the
popular movie, the stage version of
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE includes a
full score of new songs and bright
dance numbers.
Filled with frisky flappers, dashing
leading men and a dragon-lady of a
villainess audiences will love to
hate, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is a
perfectly constructed evening of
madcap merriment. And with the role
of Millie Dillmount, musical theatre
has found a new heroine for the ages
in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE!
