Thoroughly Modern Millie ACT 1 ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST

Thoroughly Modern Millie ACT 1 ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST

[@CreatorKPT]

Amazing how nobody clapped when Sutton appeared. Now she's one of the most famous modern Broadway actresses of the decade.

[@thisismeMB]

Kaio Scott wasn't this one of her first big roles?

[@CreatorKPT]

I think it was. It was her first Tony win.

[@theemilygabrielle]

+Kaio Scott In interviews she says this was her "Breakout" role. She had a few smaller roles, and understudied some big roles but this was her first Lead Character on Broadway.

[@larrydirtybird]

+Kaio Scott , I had no idea who she was when I first saw this show. As the show progressed, I thought, "Where did they FIND this amazing girl?" You can bet that people jumped up and applauded when she came out for the curtain call. I saw this show 3 times on Broadway. One of the best musicals that I ever saw in my 15 years living in NYC. It was perfect.

[@broadwaymike92]

+LadyAegle Prior before Millie, she was a replacement Sandy in the 1994 revival of Grease, the 20th Anniversary of ANNIE (as the Star To Be), and Eponine in Les Miz. Originally she was offered Les Miz on Broadway but decided to do the World Premiere of Throughly Modern Millie in La Jolla. She originally was in the Ensemble and understudied Millie. However, Erin Dilly got a terrible cold and dropped out of the show. Sutton moved from the chorus to the starring role.

[@kellyhutchison3064]

It should be mandatory that if a Broadway show is closing they should have it professionally shot. The producers have any idea how many people still would like to see that show and just didn't see it because they didn't have the opportunity, and would buy a DVD of it? Or the people who saw the show and loved it and would like to have it forever with them?

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

Kelly Hutchison but then not as many ppl would see it when it travels !

[@duckmyass]

@@PRACTICALLYTIME Some shows like this don't really get the full traveling treatment and probably never will. This is one of those shows that is so old that it is probably destined to just make the mandatory rounds as a high school musical.

[@yomega69]

Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure the New York Public Library has a collection of Broadway shows. You just can't reproduce them or buy a copy.

[@PRACTICALLYTIME]

duck yes actually! i’m playing jimmy right now in our schools production

[@gtg793g]

They will make more money selling the rights to theaters to perform them.

[@laineybrooke668]

No one: Not a single soul: Jonathan Groff watching this at 3 am: Yasssss Sutton!!!

[@katepurdum9957]

SUTTON FOSTER IS LITERALLY A GODDESS WHO WAS SENT FROM HEAVEN TO BROADWAY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

[@orenschwartz4126]

Ikr!

[@psefti]

But she is so not Julie Andrews, just saying

[@carrieheidbrier1925]

M. Harvey I actually think she was a BETTER fit for the role than Julie Andrews - I find her voice much more appropriate for the 20’s jazz style. Julie Andrews is perfect for the more classical style roles that made her famous. Also Sutton is obviously more of a dancer!

[@bitchmochi]

WHERES THE LIE

[@bethanderson7132]

I swear Sutton makes eye contact with the camera like 90 times I'm living

[@hannahk7369]

Sameeeeee

[@evancarlson1634]

Beth Anderson it’s probably because it’s illegal to record the show

[@ifinditamazing]

Sutton actually sounds UNREAL. Not a single note is out of place.

[@dxy390]

So this is how Jonathan Groff fell in love with both Sutton Foster and Gavin Creel. Fabulous show! True talent!

I am in love with Sutton Foster. I loved her in "Anything Goes" and now I found "Thoroughly Modern Millie", discovering how she got this part. I love her! I cannot believe her story, but she was definitely perfect. Her voice, I could listen to all day. Doesn't miss a note. I have the song, "Gimmie Gimmie" stuck in my head all day!

If you can do such a fabulous job as an actress, singer..and still be really nice..a good person..well, that is the secret to success... There are plenty of talented people who are not nice...and they do not go as far as Sutton....

[@tobeetwo]

Wow, what a great memory. My wife and I went to see this shortly after Sutton won the Tony. I didn't know any of her work. After the show at the Marriott, we were so impressed by her talent, we had to meet her. We waited for her and she was very shy but very nice. I've followed her work since that night. I met her once more in Chicago a couple years back, just before Anything Goes. She did a cabaret style night and was terrific. Went to see here closing week in Anything Goes, what a pro!!!

[@laurexlawnn6184]

Rest in peace, Gavin Creel. The news of your passing came out just last night and it sent shockwaves across the theatre community. This show sparked my love of theatre just about a decade ago, and what a fantastic performance I can't stop coming back to! You were an unforgettable and deeply-loved presence in theatre, and you're already deeply missed.

[@Thoroughly_MrsRoman]

Little did they know that with this show the chorus girl would become the leading lady of Broadway((((: Sutton Foster....simply amazing

I’d rather watch a shaky professional cast over all the high school ones that are posted. Thank you for this.

Loved this show. I saw it with my folks during our first visit to New York City on a Broadway Show tour. Such a happy memory. We saw The Producers, Urine Town and this. Great show to see on your NYC experience. My mom just recently died 3 weeks ago, but seeing this reminds me of the magic time we had together. Thanks for posting.

[@myam3261]

I'm so sorry about your mom! 😭

[@nickyisasi-manchini142]

[@nickcortazzo4899]

So sorry for your loss!

[@donaldmorgan6786]

Did this one year ago for our high school musical, it was the greatest show our school had ever done

[@graceliz865]

Sutton Foster is just my favorite person and my inspiration to musical theatre. She has a voice of an angel and is able to belt her face off, she’s an amazing, fiery actress, and her dancing is so ON POINT. She’s also such an amazing down to earth person. She’s won two tonys and been nominated for several others but still is so humble.

[@breezingby2611]

It’s pretty interesting to note that this show not only gave Sutton Foster her big break, but it also greatly improved the profiles of Gavin Creel and Marc Kudisch

[@Mad24680]

I'm playing Millie and we open in two weeks!! I have yet to see Sutton play Millie other than her performances on talk shows. I have to inspire my character off the best!!!!! ❤️

[@hallimorgan2744]

I absolutely love this musical. I can't wait to perform the part of Millie in February! I just need to trade vocal chords with Sutton Foster for 3 days...

[@skathryn2000]

We did this show for our Spring musical except in the midwest we dont have many chinese people, let alone in drama, so we instead changed Meers' minions to Bernardo and Carlos (hispanic ethnicity) and it was really great. So many fond memories!

[@whatevertv9588]

+Sammishark So did we

[@Hannah-lg2zk]

Sammishark My sister did my eyeliner to make me look like a Chinese person for Bun Foo

[@barbaro267]

Some schools just cast white people as the Chinese brothers. You don't have to change the ethnicity just because you don't have the proper representation of it in a high school production lol.

[@deannalexus]

We had an Indian and a white boy play them. It really doesn’t matter as long as they can pronounce the language properly

[@leahjennings9181]

ive been looking for another one of these for ages and there is just literally NO other TMM on broadway available :(

[@joshuarosenthal6873]

@@edieroth I mean also to be fair, KZbin didn't exist when this show came out, or even when it closed I think. And with many shows that come out when this did, if not before, it is difficult to find many bootlegs (The Wild Party, The Secret Garden, etc). If a show was still running to this year but opened before the mid 2000s, then yeah there will likely be many bootlegs of it on here. This also doesn't apply to every show lol. It's been tricky sometimes to find certain modern (no pun intended haha) shows on here, so it probably just depends on the show itself (including popularity) , and yeah, also when it came out lol

I was as the first preview performance of this show. The whole audience knew it was a hit at the end of act 1. In fact there was this really cool scene change into the first hotel scene where the girls road the elevator down. But it must have not lasted very long as in this version the set is in place.

[@antigonemerlin]

Even if, forgive the heresy, you don't know who Sutton Foster is, this performance absolutely shows how she is *perfect* in the role, from the first song to the last! I absolutely cannot imagine anyone else in the role, and seeing other productions, while I'm sure that other actresses have worked very hard, they pale in comparison to Sutton Foster.
