Thoroughly Modern Millie

Thoroughly Modern Millie is a musical about a young woman, in 1992, who leaves her small town life to become a "modern" woman. This musical was based on the 1967 movie of the same title starring Julie Andrews. This show opened on Broadway in 2002 and won eleven Tony awards including Best Musical and Best Actress. The star of this show, Sutton Foster has starred in several Broadway productions since, including the stage adaption of Little Women and The Drowsy Chaperone.

Millie comes to New York to find wealth and marriage, but not necessarily love. Millie finds herself meeting a poor man named Jimmy and feels herself starting to fall in love with him. Millie tries to resist because she has already made plans to get her rich boss to fall in love with her.
