New York City
Thoroughly Modern Millie is a high spirited musical romp featuring two songs from the original 1967 film, four standards from the 1920’s and nine new songs written by Jeanine Tesori (composer) and Dick Scanlan (lyrics). This bright, new, Broadway extravaganza takes place in 1922 Manhattan during the time of jazz, speakeasies and moonshine. Midwestern girl Millie Dillmount makes her way to New York City in search of love and a “modern marriage”. Rewriting all the rules of love, Thoroughly Modern Millie has all of New York dancing the Charleston.
