TheatreWorld has all the "thoroughly modern" backdrops you need to present this zany roaring '20s musical! For a single backdrop that will drop you right into the prohibition era, choose luxurious ART DECO ABSTRACT. Or, use STYLIZED MANHATTAN, a glowing tribute to Millie's new life in the Big Apple. If you're using multiple drops, begin with CHICAGO STREETS, a perfect introduction to the highs and lows of NYC. FAMILY ROOM INTERIOR is just right for the Hotel Priscilla. Get to work with colorful CONTEMPORARY OFFICE INTERIOR. Use flashy SPEAKEASY for the Cafe Society--and GRAND BALLROOM makes an elegant penthouse apartment.

Thoroughly Modern Millie Backdrops

Set in New York City in 1922, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of young Millie Dillmount from Kansas, who comes to New York in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage, and the man she actually falls in love with doesn't have a dime to his name... or so he tells her.
