Everything is thoroughly modern at the Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, as M&M Stage Productions presents “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”
Dates and times for this fun, flirty, flapper musical are July 27 and Aug. 3 at 8 p.m.; July 28 and Aug. 4 at 8 p.m.; and July 29 and Aug. 5 at 2 p.m. A reception with the cast and crew follows the opening night show on July 27, according to a press release.
Millie Dillmount has just arrived in New York City direct from Kansas and is ready to make her mark. It’s 1922, the height of the Jazz Age, and girls are bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce, and reinventing the rules of romance, according to the press release.
Determined to marry a wealthy businessman, Millie finds herself attracted instead to the penniless Jimmy Smith. Meanwhile, Mrs. Meers, the landlady at Millie’s dingy hotel for women, has a get-rich scheme of her own and it doesn’t bode well for the girls in her stead.
Based on the 1967 Academy Award-winning film, this spirited musical was the winner of six
Tony Awards, including Best Musical, in 2002. With high-energy dance numbers and a
vibrant musical score, “Millie” adds up to merry, madcap entertainment, according to the press release.
The cast stars Alicia Stanton of Jenkintown, Pa., as Millie Dillmount; Thomas Coppolecchia of Bordentown as Jimmy Smith; Christina Pullen of New Egypt as Miss Dorothy; Susan Fowler of Langhorne, Pa., as Mrs. Meers; Dan Mucha of Hamilton as Ching Ho; Kaitlyn Young of Robbinsville as Bun Foo; Pat Rounds of Princeton as Trevor Graydon; Toni Richards of Camden as Muzzy Van Hossmere; Jeannine Haight of Pennington as Miss Flannery; and
Daniel Montero of Ewing as Rodney.
Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for seniors; and $16 for students/children. Tickets may be
