Thoroughly Modern Millie, the high-spirited musical romp that has all of New York dancing the Charleston, is coming to Westerville North High School March 3 - 6. Performances will take place at 7:00 p.m., and tickets cost $10. The show is based on a book written by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan.
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.
