The Philadelphia region's professional premiere of Broadway's Tony winning musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie" is at The Media Theatre May 6-June 7.
Based on the 1967 hit film which starred Julie Andrews, "Millie" tells the tale of a young woman in the 1920's who moves to Manhattan to find a beau and launch a career. The show has plenty of romance, high-energy choreography, and plenty of comedy to engage audiences of all ages.Courtney Romano plays Millie Dillmount in The Media Theatre's production. Courtney's past credits include "Kiss Me, Kate" at Glimmerglass Opera, "42nd Street" and "High School Musical 2" at North Shore Music Theatre, and roles in "White Christmas", "The Full Monty", and "Oklahoma!". She earned her B.A. in Theatre and Dance from Muhlenberg College. "Playing Millie Dillmount, for me, is tapping into the strongest, fiercest, most direct and convicted parts of myself," Courtney explained. "Millie is the perfect amalgamation of the modern woman - just because she is gutsy and powerful, doesn't mean she loses her tenderness and vulnerability."
