About Millie 

Set  in New York City in 1922, "Thoroughly Modern Millie" is based on the popular movie, starring Julie Andrews which tells the story of young Millie Dillmount. Millie, a girl from Kansas has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself, where she aims to transform herself into a 'Modern', with the express intent of marrying her wealthy boss.

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 behaviour were changing forever. Millie's plans go awry when she meets the charismatic charmer, Jimmy, with whom she falls in love.

In New York, Millie meets Muzzy, a glamorous and well-connected cabaret star and also the mysterious Mrs Meers, who is an undercover criminal involved in the white slave trade. As with most great stories, love prevails and it all sorts itself out by the finale!

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.

A truly great musical with exciting singing and dancing - this show promises to be a memorable evening to let your hair down.
