About

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 BrockettJonathan 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.

    by Adigirl48 on 11/23/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    I am an avid musical play goer and found this one to be the most entertaining play that I've seen in the last few years! EVERYONE in the cast was absolutely gifted with an amazing amount of talent. Although I was disappointed when I found a few songs missing that were in the movie, it turned out to be fantastic! I have no complaints about the play whatsoever.

    by ChiSailor on 11/20/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    It was really enjoyable. The performers were talented and the set was amazing. I loved the staging of it, especially loved the tap dance scene with the typewriter tables. Very fun. Plus, the dinner was very tasty and a good value. We were very pleasantly surprised - not easy to serve everyone at once with a good meal. Thanks

    Went with a friend and our Moms..and it was FABULOUS! The talent is first rate, the costumes, props, music etc...all just sensational. The high school group attending seemed to enjoy it just as much as we did; it's great for a variety of age groups. It was funny, moving and toe tappingly upbeat. So glad we went to see it!

    Millie was excellent

    by GOski on 11/8/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    I thought the play was great. Started a little slow but really took off and held my interest the entire time. The setting(s) were nicely done but not over done and the way we were kept informed as to the location of the current scene was creative and neat. Especially the elevator. The songs and their presentation were superb as well as many of the special actors. It was a most pleasant experience for me.

    Modern Millie a Must See

    by AnonTwo on 11/6/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Very well done. Technical aspects were excellent. Performers were top notch. The director had the show in constant motion, which made the time wiz by.

    Delightful

    by Milhone on 11/2/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Even if you don't think you've heard this story - you have - and the Drury Lane cast camps it up to the hilt. Beautiful, naive Midwesterner, Manhattan, evil Chinese henchmen, white slavers, speakeasys, handsome ne-er-do-wells - the show has them all. The lead was perfectly cast and the rest played their roles with relish.

    Thoroughly Modern Millie

    by Chand on 10/26/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Excellent! It was entertaining and so funny. I had no idea how much I would be laughing. The choreography is fantastic and the roles are very well cast. Fun for all ages. The only things I would complain about were little stage things that probably had more to do with the fact that it was the second time they had ever done the performance. Had I gone a couple weeks from now, I'd probably give it 5 stars.

    Dinner theatre

    by Anonymous on 10/25/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    The musical was amazing. Dinner was great as well. And the over all atmosphere of the Drury theatre is ellegance. The website for this performance and location does not do it justice! The hall and auditorium, are much grander than depicted in the virtual tour and photos. I went for my anniversary and it was a surprise for my current girl friend who also absolutely loved it. Totally worth the price, and maybe even a bit more!

    Thoroughly Enjoyable!

    by SUEMA on 10/25/09Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    I bought these tickets for a date with my mom and we equally enjoyed the dinner and show. I wasn't familiar with the original movie and mom was and we were both very happy with the performance. A little romance, mystery and humor....all went a long way. Great show!!
