Wichita’s Music Theatre for Young People Presents THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and 'LIL ABNER in March & April

Wichita's Music Theatre for Young People produces four full Broadway musicals during each school year. Their upcoming productions are THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and ‘LIL ABNER.

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE will play from March 5-7. The musical tells the story of a small-town Kansas girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City in 1922 at the height of the Wall Street boom. She assumes the modern look of a "flapper" and is determined to marry for money instead of love.

‘LIL ABNER will play April 23-25. The stage musical adaptation of Al Capp's popular syndicated comic strip is centered on the town of Dogpatch, declared to be the "most unnecessary town" in the U.S. and therefore is to be turned into a nuclear testing site. The baby tonic Abner has been fed all his life is discovered to be a potion that makes men strong and handsome, but utterly uninteresting. Come see how the town is ultimately saved.
