It (obviously) holds a special place in my heart.
My first B'way show! It introduced me to the world of Broadway, and to Sutton. (I can't believe I made it into adulthood before ever going to NYC...I missed out on some great years)

Preach it, Magrder, Preach!

Ugh, Millie. The Velveeta cheese of Broadway musicals.

Bwahahahahaha!!! I love that! Mind if I steal it?

Be my guest, darlin'! :)

Is Velveeta actual cheese or "PROCESSED CHEESE FOOD"?
Because Millie is the latter.

>>>Not I. I found it rather dreadful and as I've said in other threads, it couldn't hold a candle to the film. "Tap-tap, Tap-tap, Tap-tap, Tapioca everybody freeze!" Raaaaaaaahhhhhhhhzzzzzzzzzzberries!!!

The film was OK, fun to watch but campy at the end. Julie Andrews made that movie, IMO. I prefer her Millie to the one in the show. Sutton Foster must have acted her little toes off to make the character that memorable. Because I saw Darcie Roberts in the part, and while she was good, she didn't make me go "WOW!" like I did with Julie Andrews.

I found Darcie to be an exact replica of Sutton.

I liked the film because it played up the camp of it all which I found to be lacking in the stage production. I also thought that the transformation of Muzzie from screen to stage was horrid! Talk about killing a great role!

Millie was a bad show but there were some good parts. I enjoyed it the 2 times I've seen it.

I recently saw the movie for the first time, and I think the show was much better.

The movie is unwatchable. Sutton really made the show work. Her star turn really made the show enjoyable.

I'm sure your post meant to say the SHOW is unwatchable.

That's what I thought too magruder! Maybe the heat was getting to BroadwayBaby6.

I miss it!
Hell yeh, I miss it!
I loved this show, and Sutton Foster is the greatest performer I have ever seen on stage. The tunes, the choreography and costumes were all great, as well.
BTW There's a non-eq tour coming to the NJ PAC next June.
