York Theatre Royal: Thoroughly Modern Millie
Presented by the York Light Opera Company.
Fresh off the bus from Kansas, a thoroughly un-modern Millie comes to New York in search of a new life. She has a plan – get a good job as a secretary to a very rich man and then marry him. She checks into the hotel Priscilla where she encounters the eccentric proprietor, Mrs Meers and her riotous adventures in the razzmatazz of Jazz Age Manhattan begin. As she flaps, taps and Charlestons her way through the Roaring ‘20s, Millie learns there’s more to being modern than the latest fashions, bobbed hair and a boss who is a rich, eligible bachelor. There’s a little thing called love that never seems to go out of style.
