Thoroughly Modern Millie, based on the1967 smash movie comedy, is a rip-roaring romp set in the “Roaring ‘20s”.  It revolves around Millie Dillmount, a Kansas girl who escapes to New York City determined to marry her wealthy boss — whoever he may be. Shedding her country girl image for the modern look of a “flapper,” she takes a room at the Priscilla Hotel for Women and gets a job as a stenographer at the Sincere Trust Insurance Company. In short order, Millie finds herself involved with Jimmy Smith, an apparently ne’er-do-well paper clip salesman; Miss Dorothy Brown, a genteel aspiring actress who never seems to have spare change; Trevor Graydon, her no-nonsense boss; and Muzzy van Hossmere, a madcap Manhattan heiress with a zest for the high life.
