The Rousuck Review: "Thoroughly Modern Millie"

Janine Vreatt

Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck talks with Tom Hall about the Tony Award-winning musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” adapted from the 1967 movie of the same name. Can a girl from Kansas become a modern woman in 1920s New York? Can the stage musical improve on director George Roy Hill’s movie starring Julie Andrews? Rousuck has gone to Cockpit in Court to find the answers.

“Thoroughly Modern Millie” continues through Sunday at the summer theater on the Essex campus of the Community College of Baltimore County.

J. Wynn Rousuck has been reviewing theater for WYPR's Midday (and previously, Maryland Morning) since 2007. Prior to that, she was the theater critic of The Baltimore Sun, where she reviewed more than 3,000 plays over the course of 23 years.
