WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

It's 1922 and modern women are bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce, and rewriting the rules of love. Thoroughly Modern Millie, a musical comedy inspired by one of the most successful musical movies of all time, stars Tony Award winner Sutton Foster in the title role. Based on Richard Morris' original story and screenplay, the show features a book by Morris and Dick Scanlan, with lyrics by Scanlan and a score by Jeanine Tesori. Michael Mayer directs.

Susan Egan stars in the title role. The cast also features Leslie Uggams as Muzzy Van Hossmere and Dixie Carter as Mrs. Meers.

There are student rush tickets available for the last two rows of mezzanine from 10am to 3pm for $25.00 per ticket. Limit one ticket per person.
