Theatre: Thoroughly Modern Millie
When? 15 May 2018 to 19 May 2018
Where? Poole
Following a hugely successful tour in Spring 2017, award-winning musical Thoroughly Modern Millie is touring the UK again, taking in a stop at Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts from 15 – 19 May.
Hayley Tamaddon takes on the title role of Millie Dilmount, a Kansas girl determined to make it big in New York City. Hayley is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Del Dingle in Emmerdale and Andrea Beckett in Coronation Street and for winning the fifth series of ITV1’s Dancing on Ice.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film starring Julie Andrews and takes you back to the height of the Jazz Age in 1920s New York City, when ‘moderns’ including a flapper named Millie Dillmount, were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love.
From explosive tap numbers to a ‘Fred and Ginger’ dance routine on a window ledge, and featuring hit songs including Gimme Gimme and Not for the Life of Me, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a brilliantly funny and entertaining show for all the family.
