"THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE" JAZZES UP DOWNTOWN MIAMI
Tony Award-winning musical Thoroughly Modern Millie, by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan will be produced by New World School of the Arts' music theater program to celebrate the Holiday season. Directed by guest artist Kim St. Leon, choreographed by guest artist Karin Bejerano with musical direction by Jeff Hess, from the NWSA Theater Division, the production will feature thirty high school music theater students in the cast, accompanied by college and high school students from the music division playing in the orchestra.
"Being given the opportunity to play one of the leading roles in the upcoming production of Modern Millie is a wonderful reward after four years of hard work at New World," said Mariana Leon , a Musicl Theater senior playing the part of Ms. Flannery. "New World has been an amazing journey and a unique learning experience. Modern Millie is a great showcase of our students' talent and the quality of our teachers."
Thoroughly Modern Millie takes place in New York City in 1922, and tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. The story is about a time in New York when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. The musical is based on a popular movie and includes a full score of new songs and great dance numbers. The show played on Broadway in 2002 for 903 performances.
