About This Show
The winner of six Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie was 2002’s most-awarded new show on Broadway. This spectacular experience that is Millie comes to the Orange County Performing Arts Center’s Segerstrom Hall as part of the Bank of America Broadway Series. The production is directed by Michael Mayer, choreographed by Rob Ashford and presented by Olay® Regenerist TM.
Based on the 1967 Oscar-winning film of the same name, the musical takes audiences back to the height of the Jazz Age, when “moderns” – including a flapper named Millie Dillmount – were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love. This singing, dancing, romancing musical takes place in Manhattan, 1922, with all the Jazz Age razzamatazz you want in a big, bright, brand-new Broadway blockbuster. It’s the story of a Midwestern girl who arrives in New York, determined to take the town by storm.
The show features 15 songs, including two from the 1967 film, four standards from the 1920s and nine new songs by Jeanine Tesori (music) and Dick Scanlan (lyrics).
