Take a fun-filled ride to the heart of the roaring twenties with Thoroughly Modern Millie!
It’s the height of the jazz age, the roaring 20’s, and small-town girl Millie Dillmount has just arrived in New York City, ready to make her dreams come true.
Millie’s plan is simple: find a job as a secretary for an eligible bachelor, and then marry him. It doesn’t take long for Millie’s “thoroughly modern” plan to go awry. Her conniving landlady Mrs Meers plots to kidnap Millie’s best friend Dorothy and sell her into slavery. Her wealthy boss Trevor Graydon seems entirely uninterested in her flirtations, and – worst of all – Jimmy, the man with whom she falls head over heels in love, doesn’t have a penny to his name.
Annie Aitken stars as Millie. Her performance in Candide for Sydney Philharmonia Choirs was hailed as ‘a show-stopping tour-de-force’(SMH). Australia’s favourite leading lady, Marina Prior is Mrs Meers, Claire Lyon (Phantom of The Opera) is Miss Dorothy Brown, Queenie van de Zandt (King Kong) is Muzzy Van Hossmere, Adam-Jon Fiorentino (Aladdin) is Trevor Graydon, and Nigel Huckle (Hello, Dolly!) is Jimmy Smith. Also starring Keith Brockett, Jonathan Chan and Angela Scundi.
The winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie is based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film and was the 2002 season’s most awarded new show on Broadway.
I smiled the whole way through! I went home feeling very happy.
Prism nailed it. Sets, costumes, choreography, pit orchestra, singers - all fantastic. It was as good as any professional production I've seen, and at a reasonable price! Added bonus, I was able to enjoy a cold beer during the performance!
I've never seen a musical like this up close and it was definitely a blast!Not a boring moment went by and I was always on the edge of my seat! Full of laughs, beautifully choreographed dance numbers, and excellent singing voices (not to mention the actor who played Jimmy Smith was Hot Hot HOT! Thoroughly Modern Millie had it all! I was laughing so hard it hurt, crying so hard it was embarrassing and entranced for the rest of the night, still tapping my toes to the tunes. Millie herself was gorgeous!
This was an unbelievable performance!! The sets were on par with any Broadway musical I have ever seen. The singing and dancing were first rate. The acting was Tony worthy! Do not miss this show. Buy your ticket now and hustle to Will Rogers Auditorium and get ready to be transported into a fun and mesmerizing 2 1-2 hours of sheer delight!!
Fantastic professional production of Millie! Music, Sets, Acting, etc was all fantastic!!! Great show and great deal!!!
A high-calibre production in the Fort Worth arts district with top talent from Texas and NYC. Don't miss this artistic gem at such a great price. The cast is outstanding -- character acting is relatable and vocals are brilliant; a beautiful show! Choreography and dance, especially among the men ensemble, is stellar. Set design and costumes are stunning, orchestra also outstanding. We had a great experience. Well done Prism Theatrics, a new Fort Worth theatre company! I hope to see many more of your productions.
It was a thoroughly delightful show! The talent was amazing.
Thoroughly Modern Millie was thoroughly entertaining! The cast was very professional and well-rehearsed. Obviously these actors and actresses have a passion for what they are doing - it shows in their performance! The acting and singing were phenomenal! We enjoyed every part of this musical!
Extremely enjoyable! Beautiful costumes and sets! Tons of talent and impressive singing and dancing!
We so enjoyed the Sunday matinee of Thoroughly Modern Millie, we're going back for more. Hilarious musical, fantastic music (and musical director), wonderful voices, and that set - perfectly matches the historic Will Rogers Theater and the time period. Can't say enough about Anneliese van der Pol (of That's So Raven fame) and how she plays the Millie part to a T. And that supporting cast - top notch. LOVED Sharan Goodspeed Keyton and that marvelous voice she unleashes during her songs. WOW! If you love musicals and Broadway, or just want to experience Broadway in the metroplex, you gotta see Thoroughly Modern Millie.
don't miss this one ... EUGENE GWOZDZ is a MUSIC MASTER!
Just how much great entertainment can be squeezed into one production?! Entire cast were top notch! Choreography great! Dancing great! Singing great! A wonderful interpretation (really disliked the original movie) ! Non stop humor! Casted perfectly. The sets were unbelievable and almost a show in themselves! The music was performed flawlessly and very enjoyable to "watch" as well since the orchestra was nicely positioned! Bonus! Makeup, costumes, smoothness between scenes, everything, everything, made it easy to come back the next night to see it all AGAIN!! WE were visiting from the bay area in California and had been craving this kind of entertainment. We got it!!!
Wonderful production! Could have been in NYC! A great start for a new production company; can't wait to see what's next!
Staging was fabulous, the costurmes were terrific, the singing and dancing most enjoyable! The venue....left a great deal to be desired. Lastly, seems too long of an engagement for Fort Worth. Needs to be short and sweet so people do not want to miss it!
This was an absolute delight! Every moment was superb. My smile muscles were sore at the end. I will go again. Only disappointment is the size of the venue. Waaaaay too big to fill. But the audience was boisterous even with the extra seats. Just loved it!
The venue was a bit large for this performance. It seemed to absorb some of the sound. That's the only negative comment I can make. The performers were talented and energetic. The choreography was engaging and the set design was incredible!
One step up from high school theater. Think they still need to work out the kinks but good first effort.
The movie made me wary but his production is amazing. Such talent!TThe actors, dancers, choreography, singers, orchestra, set design and interpretation was fantastic. Such a hidden treasure in this new company. Well done to everyone involved. If you are think of going, don't hesitiate because of the movie (which I didn't like). When you go, bring a jacket as it was a bit cool. Overall, awesome for all ages. We were visiting Fort Worth and happened on this as something to do. As much as FTW has to offer, this was a highlight for sure.
This production is amazing. The entire cast is great. A standout performance given by Miss Flannery - Ashley Smith White. She's funny, talented and has great elbows!! I recommend this show as a must see. Fort Worth let's support our local talented performances.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed "Thoroughly Modern Millie"! The quality of the singers, dancers, costumes, set and orchestra was as good or better than any show i've seen at Fair Park in Dallas or even Broadway in NY. We highly recommend it! Kudos to Prism Theatrics! We will be attending more of your shows in the future.
