Morrison High School will present the musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie” at Morrison High School, 643 Genesee Avenue, Morrison, IL, under the direction of Meagan Zahora.
Tickets are $5 at the door or from Fitzgerald Pharmacy, 124 E. Main Street, Morrison.
A small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, comes to New York City, NY, to marry for money instead of love–a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. Millie soon begins to take delight in the flapper lifestyle.
Problems arise when she checks into a hotel owned by the leader of a white slavery ring in China.
The style of the musical is comic pastiche. Like the film on which it is based, it interpolates new tunes with some previously written songs.
Three performances will be given:
- Friday, May 8, at 7:00 p.m.
- Saturday, May 9, at 7:00 p.m.
- Sunday, May 10, at 2:00 p.m.
