Our big Youth CONNection production will be
Thoroughly Modern Millie – a high-spirited musical
that took Broadway by storm, winning six Tony
Awards including Best Musical in 2002. Set in 1922 in
New York, it is the story of young Millie Dillmount,
who has just moved to the city in search of a new life
for herself. It is a New York full of intrigue and jazz -
a time when women were entering the workforce and
the rules of love and social behavior were changing
forever. Based on the popular movie, which starred
Julie Andrews, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a show
filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men and a
dragon-lady of a villainess audiences love to hate.
Join us at Shelton High School for a perfectly
constructed evening of madcap merriment.
