Thoroughly Modern Millie Opened last weekend at the SUNY Ulster Campus in the newly restored Quimby Theater. So far I've heard some wonderful things about the show - I hope to get to see the show - which will be dependent on how I'm feeling. I'll be certain to review the show if I do go.

About the show: The plot revolves around Millie Dillmount, who escapes to New York City from Salina, Kansas determined to marry her wealthy boss - whomever he may be. Shedding her country girl image for the modern look of a flapper, she takes a room at the Priscilla Hotel for Women and gets a job as a stenographer at the Sincere Trust Insurance Company. In short time, she finds herself involved with Jimmy Smith, an apparently ne'er-do-well paper clip salesman, Miss Dorothy Brown, a genteel aspiring actress who never seems to have spare change, Trevor Graydon, her no-nonsense boss, and Muzzy van Hossmere, a madcap Manhattan heiress with a zest for the high life.
