Cast, Creative Team Announced for THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE at the John W. Engeman Theater

The John W. Engeman Theater announces the cast and creative team for THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE. Performances begin on Thursday, May 26 at 8:00pm and run through July 10, 2016.

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.

The winner of six TONY Awards including Best Musical, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE was the 2002 season's most awarded new show on Broadway!
