Thoroughly Modern Millie (Orchard Dartford)

At the Orchard Theatre Dartford with Joanne Clifton from Strictly Come Dancing. Matinee Performance.

The winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie is based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, taking 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.

From explosive tap numbers to a ‘Fred and Ginger’ dance routine on a window ledge, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a brilliantly funny and entertaining show for all the family.

Directed and choreographed by Gary Lloyd, this new UK tour will star Strictly Come Dancing’s Joanne Clifton in the role of Millie Dillmount.

The Broadway musical comedy follows the fortunes of Millie Dillmount, a Kansas girl who is determined to make it big in New York City. Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie is based on the Academy Award winning 1967 film.

Taking audiences back to the 1920’s and featuring songs such as Gimme Gimme and Not for the Life of Me, Thoroughly Modern Millie will feature new music by Jeanine Tesori
 and new lyrics by Dick Scanlan.
