A 1920's "modern" girl from Nebraska toughs it out in the Big Apple
#####
I'd never seen this play before, though I was moderately familiar with the score. However, as someone who really enjoys musical theatre, and having not seen this particular show, I was eager to finally get a chance to take it in. And I wasn't disappointed!
This young cast (and director) kept the show moving quickly and never got too bogged down in the plot or among the scene changes.
"Millie" was exceptionally good, as were the two young men who spoke Chinese quite fluently.
There were a couple of vocal issues (as in 'I couldn't hear them') among some of the cast, but not in any of the leading roles.
A good use of the sets.
A remarkable and enjoyable production.
