We went to see my cousin preform in
Thoroughly Modern Millie, Jr. , and it was great! Basically, the play is set in the 1920's and is about a small-town girl who comes to a big city, falls in love, and helps capture a ring of kidnappers who sell people into white slavery!! There are a lot of funny characters, songs, and dances.(However, one downside is that Millie and Jimmy, followed by the Ensemble, sneak into a speakeasy (a bar) and are arrested during a police raid.)

The characters that were my favorite were:
| Millie Dillmount |
| A young, "modern" woman from a tiny town in Kansas. She wants to marry her boss just because she read a story about that in a magazine.She ends up marrying Jimmy instead. YAY! |
| Jimmy Smith |
| A handsome young salesman. He acts poor and is kind to Millie when, lost and alone, she first arrives. Turns out he is a wealthy boss who wants to marry for true love so he acts poor. Ends up marrying Millie. YAY! |

| Mrs. Meers |
| Evil owner of the Hotel Priscilla who kidnaps people!! Trademark line: "How saaaaddd to be allll alllone in the worllld!!" |
| Ching Ho |
| Ms. Meers' henchman, falls in love with Miss Dorothy(another character). He's really funny! |
| | Ensemble Sing and dance,etc. |
