The musical

This weekend I went to see the school musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. Usually I hate musicals but all of my friends were going so I figured id five it a try and I was extremely pleased with what I saw. I actually liked it! The ticket price (10 dollars) was a little steep but I think it was well worth it. It took place in the era of the flapped (the 50s) and showed the struggle of a young girl to fight for her dreams. Millie moved to New York bobbed her hair wore short skirts and was ready to take on an acting career but she found that it was as easy as she thought. As soon as she got there her bag was stolen and she had no one to go to for help she ran into a man named Jimmy who came across as a jerk but ended up helping her by sending her to Hotel Pricilla which took in young actresses with out rent for a while. Here Millie found her best friend Miss who was used to the finer things in life. Together they devised a plan to get Millie a job as a secretary for Mr. Trevor Graden who Millie planned on marrying for money not love. After she got the job and the nick-name John for being so efficient she was sure that the plan was working. Until, she ran into Jimmy again. They snuck into a hole in the wall bar and got caught. After spending the night in jail together Jimmy kissed her and had Millie all mixed up. Does she follow her heart or her mind? The confusion was even worse when she saw Trevor leaving Miss’s room that night. She was heart broken and figured she would have to follow her plan after all. She went to work to find her phone ringing off the hook with calls from Jimmy trying to explain and Miss all over Trevor. They were in love or so it seemed and now Millie had no one. She went home with a heavy heart but saw Jimmy outside her window. It turns out that Jimmy was Miss’s brother and he was telling her that he was in Love with Millie. Love prevailed and they lived happily ever after.
