Although Archmere Academy’s performance of Thoroughly Modern Millie encouraged the audience to “forget about the boy,” it is impossible to forget their performance of the 2002 Broadway hit that took the theater world by storm, winning six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Take several dozen girls dressed in 1920’s attire, a sinister hotel owner, a sourpuss stenographer, and a young woman with big dreams, and you have Thoroughly Modern Millie, a humorous, high-spirited musical, brought to the stage by a group of talented students from Archmere Academy.
