"Thoroughly Modern Millie" is a musical comedy set in the 1920s that tells the story of a young woman named Millie Dillmount who moves from Kansas to New York City with the goal of marrying a wealthy man. She quickly lands a job at a typing pool and becomes friends with the sweet and naive Miss Dorothy, who is also seeking a rich husband. Meanwhile, Millie catches the eye of her boss, the handsome and charming Trevor Graydon, but she is more interested in the mysterious and impoverished Jimmy Smith. As she navigates the ups and downs of love and career, Millie finds herself embroiled in a dangerous criminal conspiracy involving white slavery.
The show features lively, upbeat music and dance numbers, including the popular songs "Gimme Gimme," "Forget About the Boy," and the title song "Thoroughly Modern Millie." The show also explores themes of female empowerment, as Millie learns to stand on her own two feet and pursue her dreams without relying on a man. The musical was based on the 1967 film of the same name and premiered on Broadway in 2002, winning six Tony Awards including Best Musical.
