I love Millie! And unfortunately for me and all the other non dancers, all the roels are dance roles. Miss Dorothy is the least dancish.

I'm sure if I were to be on Millie, I'd pay for a couple of tap classes. :)
This is my signature.

Mr Grayden is the baritone lead right? The Speed Song?

I really wanted to like this show when I saw it on Broadway, but I absolutely hated it.

I did the same thing with CATS, i tried to like it, but i mean come on, they're damn cats dancing around for 2 hours...not my idea of a night well spent. I'd say it's probably one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
I loved Millie though. Very cute show.

I didn't see Thoroughly Modern Millie, but I have the cast recording. Not my favorite, but some of the songs are cute.

Funny that this topic should come up now...I've just downloaded 4 songs from the show and I am OBSESSED. Not for the life of me, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Forget About the Boy, and Gimme Gimme are AMAZING. I can't get them out of my head and I listen to the songs everytime I walk by my IPod! :-P...it would have been nice to support the show.

One of my favorite shows. Not because its a theatrical masterpeice which it is not at all but because it is sheer unadulturated fun. Sutton Foster was beyond amazing in this show. She was rapturous and really wonderful.

I loved Millie! I saw it three times with Sutton and her understudy once. It was a very entertaining show, I miss it.

I loved "Millie" too. Saw it twice from the first row with Sutton. The CD has wonderful sound and whenever I play it,it raises my spirits.

I LOVED Millie in a total dorky love for big splashy musical kinda way. I saw it an embarassing amount of times over the course of two years and saw, I think, 5 different actresses as Millie.
Loved it.
Loved it.

Miss Dorothy has a pretty intense dance scene with Trevor Graydon that includes one or two pretty complex moves.

Yeah I saw the tour last month and I really wasn't impressed. I love the cast recording and maybe my expectations were too high, but it left me a little disappointed.
The choreography was amazing. Probably some of the best I've seen, right behind that of "Forty-Second Street." The costumes were also very clever, and with the exception of the boy who played Jimmy the cast was very outstanding.
But as a whole, I just didn't appreciate the show itself.

I was a big fan of the cast recording, mostly because Sutton blew me away. I saw the tour in SD a few months back and I liked the show, but I was a little disappointed with Darcy Roberts. Actually, I would have been disappointed with anyone playing Millie. Sutton't vocals (I never got to see her live) were so superior to Darcy's.

I love Thoroughly Modern Millie. Everything about it. I saw it more times than I can count!
Although Susan Egan worked her behind off, it just wasn't the same after Sutton Foster left.

Non dancing roles include:
Daphne and Dexter in the restaurant scene
Police officer
Dishwashers
Dorothy Parker
and a few other bit parts.
Also, I don't think Ching Ho and Bun Foo did much dancing, but they did a lot of moving around.
And yes, Millie was a lot of fun!
