(March 19, 2013) - Broad Run High School Spartan Theatre, under the direction of Timothy Willmot with musical direction by Jennifer Kauffmann, will be performing the popular musical about the 1920s – Thoroughly Modern Millie on April 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee show on Sunday, April 21 at 2:00 p.m.


Based on the 1967 film starring Julie Andrews and set in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of a small-town girl from Kansas who comes to New York to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce.

Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East; her wealthy boss has eyes for Millie’s friend; and the man she actually falls in love with doesn’t have a dime to his name. 

Broad Run High School is located at 21670 Ashburn Road in Ashburn, Virginia. Tickets are $10 and will be sold at the door. For more information, please call 571-252-2305.
