- Abstract
- 4th - 6th June 2015 The stellar team that brought Cabaret and 42nd Street to Ballarat are back with the zany romantic comedy of the Roaring Twenties - Thoroughly Modern Millie. This Tony award-winning musical based on the classic Julie Andrews cult movie tells the tale of Millie - an innocent country girl who comes to the big city in search of a husband. Along the way she becomes the secretary of the rich and handsome Trevor Graydon, befriends the sweet Miss Dorothy, fights off white slave merchant Mrs Meers, and hooks up with an unlikely paperclip salesman - Jimmy. In the end it takes the nutty, rich jazz-baby Muzzy to unravel all these crazy complications, give a great party and match up the star-crossed lovers. Filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men, a villainess who audiences love to hate; and featuring explosive tap numbers Thoroughly Modern Millie showcases the skills of the Graduating Music Theatre Company to perfection. Book by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan, New Music by Jeanine Tesori, New Lyrics by Dick Scanlan, Original story and screenplay by Richard Morris, Directed and Choreographed by David Wynen, Musical Direction by Robyn Womersley.
