6 Thoroughly Modern Millie

The winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” was the 2002 season’s most awarded new show on Broadway. Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in New York City, when “moderns,” including a flapper named Millie Dillmount, were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love. This high-spirited musical romp is a delightful valentine to the long-standing spirit of New York City and the people who seek to discover themselves there.

Wednesday, August 8 at 2 p.m., Friday August 10 at 8 p.m., Saturday August 11 and 18 at 8 p.m., Sunday August 12 and 19 at 2:30 p.m.
