Based on the popular movie, the stage version of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE was 2002's most awarded new show on Broadway, taking home six Tony Awards including Best Musical. Set in New York City in 1922, the musical tells the story of small town girl Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It's a New York full of intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce, becoming moderns and changing the rules. Millie has decided to marry rich, despite living in a girls' rooming house with a sinister landlady, Mrs. Meers, a dragon-lady villainess audiences will love to hate. Her plans go awry when she meets sweet, but penniless Jimmy.

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is sponsored by: Continental Airlines, First Hawaiian Bank, Hawaiian Telcom, ABC Corporation, McCabe, Hamilton and Renny, and the Richard Aadland Trust.

Celebrating its 92nd Anniversary Season, Diamond Head Theatre, heralded as Hawaii's "Broadway of the Pacific", has delivered the best in live community theatrical entertainment since 1915.
