'Thoroughly Modern Millie' Debuts at Northport High School

Musical tells story of vivacious young girl in 1920s New York City who ends up in a sticky situation.

The Powdered Wigs production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" debuts Thursday night, Feb. 28, at 4 p.m. at Northport High School. Additional show dates are Friday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at the door.

Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. Millie soon begins to take delight in the flapper lifestyle, but problems arise when she checks into a hotel owned by the leader of a white slavery ring in China.
