It’s 1922 and young Millie Dillmount has come to New York City from Kansas, in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, the best laid plans…… The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage, and the man she actually falls in love with doesn’t have a dime to his name… or so he tells her.
The winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie was the 2002 season’s most awarded new show on Broadway. Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film starring Julie Andrews, Thoroughly Modern Millie takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in New York City, when “moderns” were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is thoroughly funny, entertaining and romantic. It is a glittering dip into the twenties, featuring show-stopping tap numbers, glorious melodies, kooky characters and glamorous flapper dresses, celebrating “Classic Broadway” in all its glory. Thoroughly Modern Millie isn’t thoroughly modern at all, in fact, it’s thoroughly old-fashioned – the perfect mix of the golden age of Broadway all wrapped up in a brand new show.
Something’s coming… your favourite male Broadway hits as you least expect them!
Come prepared to hear the famous male Broadway numbers you know and love, then sit back and relax as three damsels in distress take matters into their own hands and male songs into their own key.
In life we are labelled… in musical theatre we are type-cast. Twisted turns that on its head.
Written, directed, and performed by Musical Theatre powerhouses Nicole Herreen, Paige Byrne, and Emma Kavanagh, this topsy-turvy new cabaret takes audiences down the memory lane of popular musical theatre classics, but leaves them wondering if Google Maps has directed them far from the street where they live.
These captivating vocalists bring their refined musicianship skills, intricate story-telling abilities, and performance experience from all around Australia to The Butterfly Club stage. They dream the impossible dream, singing some of Broadway’s best male songs to twist how we as a society are encouraged to see the world.
A delightful and thought-provoking show not to be missed. Expect tight harmonies, a tight band, and tight choreography… as the stage is only 4.5 metres wide!
Cost: $26-$35 (full, concession, group (6+), member, early bird)
