Taking place in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It is a New York full of intrigue and Jazz – a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behaviour were changing forever. As Millie flaps and Charlestons her way through the roaring twenties, she learns there is more to being modern than the latest fashions, bobbed hair and a boss who is a rich, eligible bachelor. There’s a little thing called love that never seems to go out of style.
