This high-spirited 1920s musical romp tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It’s a New York full of intrigue and jazz at a time when women are entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior are changing forever. Filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading men, and a villainous dragon-lady audiences will love to hate, it is a perfectly constructed evening of madcap merriment.
