Thoroughly Modern Millie

Millie Dillmount wants nothing more than to find work as a stenographer and marry her wealthy boss in the Black Maskers spring production of Thoroughly Modern Millie, based on the 1967 film of the same name. Set in New York City during the 1920’s flapper era, Millie embarks on a wild journey to win over her rich boss Trevor Graydon. Along the way Millie starts to fall in love with an enchanting paper-clip salesman Jimmy Smith. However, she is determined to stick with her plan to marry the rich Trevor despite her feelings for Jimmy. When Trevor falls in love with Millie’s friend Miss Dorothy Brown, Millie is heartbroken and wishes to leave her job. Will Millie succeed in her attempts to seduce Trevor or does she leave the city empty handed?
