Hayley Tamaddon stars in a new UK Tour of Tony Award-winning musical, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
The hugely successful musical comedy Thoroughly Modern Millie begins its new UK Tour at Richmond Theatre from Tue 27- Sat 31 March. Based on the Academy Award-winning film of the same name, the musical took to Broadway in 2002 and went on to win six Tony Awards including Best Musical. Press are invited to attend for review on Tue 27 March.
This delightful production follows a hugely successful tour in spring 2017 and in its new run will star actress Hayley Tamaddon. Hayley will take on the title role of Millie Dilmount, a young Kansas girl with a dream of making it big in New York City. Hayley is best known for her portrayal of Del Dingle in Emmerdale and Andrea Beckett in Coronation Street and as well as this was the winner of the fifth series of ITV’s Dancing on Ice. She has also crafted a successful musical theatre career with roles including, Roxie Hart in Chicago (UK Tour), The Lady of the Lake in Spamalot (UK tour), Janet in The Rocky Horror Show (UK Tour), Frenchie in Grease (UK Tour), Diana Morales in A Chorus Line (Sheffield Theatres), Trish in Boogie Nights (UK Tour), Carmen in Fame (UK Tour), Laura in Boyband (West End) and Lisa in Mamma Mia (West End).
The story takes you back to the bright lights of 1920s New York City, where the Jazz Age was in full swing. It was during this time that ‘moderns’, including a flapper named Millie Dilmount, were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love. With toe-tapping musical numbers and hilarious comedy, you’ll be guaranteed an evening of glittering entertainment from start to finish.
From explosive tap numbers to a ‘Fred and Ginger’ dance routine on a window ledge, and featuring hit songs including Gimme Gimme and Not for the Life of Me, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a brilliantly funny and entertaining show for all the family so raise your skirts, bob your hair and beat the drums ‘cos here comes Thoroughly Modern Millie now!
