Description:

Although it's based on the 1967 movie of the same name, Thoroughly Modern Millie is almost thoroughly new. Composer Jeanine Tesori (Violet) and lyricist Dick Scanlan wrote a whole batch of songs, while retaining a couple from the movie--including the Jimmy van Heusen-Sammy Cahn title tune--and recycling even older material (look for Victor Herbert's "I'm Falling in Love with Someone" and the inventively arranged "Nuttycracker Suite"). Miraculously, the show, set during the jazz age, doesn't feel stitched together, and Tesori does a great job cranking out swinging melodies. Sutton Foster is appropriately brassy as Millie, but she can also tone it down, as in the beginning of "Gimme Gimme" (of course, she then proceeds to project up to the last rafters as the song builds to its climax). Harriet Harris, as nasty Mrs. Meers, steals the show with "They Don't Know." Close your eyes, listen to her, and you'll be back in Broadway's golden age. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5Great Energy !  Aug 31, 2009
This is a great scroe with which to lift your spirits! I listen to it in my car and by the time I get to work, I'm in a great mood. Hoping to direct this show soon!

5Thoroughly Modern Millie CD  Jun 07, 2009
Found this under "new and used" - thus, paid a little less for a new CD. If you like the show, you'll enjoy it.

5Millie Is Fantastic  Jan 08, 2009
Thoroughly Modern Millie captures the essence of 1920's flappers. Each song moves you effortessly though the story of the show. As you listen The voice of Sudden Foster will convince you that she is Millie. It is a great story told through music. Even if you have yet to seen the musical live I highly reccomend purchesing this CD. It will become one of your favorite Broadway soundtrack's of all time


5Sutton Foster Is The Best  Nov 22, 2008
Sutton Foster is a gift to all of us. Watch how she commits herself to everything she does. She doesn't SING a song, she LIVES it.

She has inspired many people to sing with their full energy. Her Millie is tops.

We were thrilled to record Gimme Gimme for the new CD: Liz Seymour - That Thing Called Love. If it hadn't been for Sutton's inspiration, this recording never would have happened.

Buy everything she does - she's that good!

5Roaring 20's Fun  Jul 13, 2008
If you'd like a pick -me -up, this is the show to listen to. Great music, a wonderful score, and just fun to listen to. Sutton Foster is just great in the lead. (I think her first show.) If you saw the movie, well, not so crazy, but the basics are still there. It would help a lot if you can catch a touring company or even a high school production. Then the music would make more sense. But try it, you'll like it. I'm only sorry I missed the B'way original. But I think it will be around in revival; it's such fun.
