Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre & Children's Theatre

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
September 5 - November 8, 2008

Thoroughly Modern Millie is a high-spirited musical romp that took Broadway by storm! Taking place in New York City in 1922, Millie tells the story of Millie Dillmount, who just moved to the city in search of a new life. 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. This fun and exciting musical is filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men, and a dragon-lady of a villainess. It’s one that will leave you singing and dancing in the aisles.

Based on the 1967 movie starring Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, and Carol Channing, Thoroughly Modern Millie made it's way to Broadway in early 2002 when it settled into the Marquis Theatre, right in the heart of Times Square, for a wildly successful two year run. The cast was led by Sutton Foster as Millie and Harriet Harris as the show's hilarious and evil villain, Mrs. Meers. Both stars went on to win Tony Awards for their roles. In all, Thoroughly Modern Millie took home six Tony Awards that year, including Best Musical.

For the fall, Way Off Broadway is proud to produce the area premier of Thoroughly Modern Millie and bring the roaring 20s to Frederick. Be a part of the fun . . . "So beat the drums 'cause here comes Thoroughly Modern Millie now!"
