THE SINGING, DANCING, ROMANCING MUSICAL
WILL FLAP ITS WAY
The most awarded new show on Broadway in 2002, including best musical!
The winner of six Tony awards including Best Musical and Best Orchestration, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name.
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is a high-spirited musical romp, based on the popular movie
that has all of New York dancing the Charleston. Filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men
and a dragon-lady of a villainess that audiences will love to hate, THOROUGHLY MODERN
MILLIE is a perfectly constructed evening of madcap merriment.
Directed and choreographed by two time Tony award nominee (Smokey Joe's Café, The Life)
Joey Mckneely, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE will take your audiences back to the time of
the great American musical. Mr. McKneely's most recent Broadway choreography credit The Boy from
Oz earned star Hugh Jackman a Tony award. Mckneely has worked as performer, choreographer
and/or director on a broad range of international stage, television and film credits including
Hope and Faith and Zoolander.
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.
