The costumes were more street-clothes like in the LaJolla tryouts. For Broadway, Martin Pakledinaz decided to go with a more stylized look and louder colors to make her pop on stage. Got him a Tony. There were some vibrant colors in 20's dress though. And, here against those Manhattan towers Sutton stunningly looks like an Erté Art Deco figurine.
We just finished doing this show at my school! It was so much fun! I mean, we did the junior version and the choreography was different, but it was still so similar! I loved doing this show. My favorite dances were the opening number and the speakeasy. I hope everyone has the chance to do such an awesome show!
@dessay: Please do your research! There were black flappers in the 20's; they just didn't normally mix with white flappers. This show is a fun send-up to the time and to the campy movie of the same name. Stop taking it so literally...this isn't Ragtime, it's Millie!
I'm doing this musical this year, I'm Ching Ho (of course I got it i'm Asian...). On my off night I'm a dancer. I have to say, it's not the singing or the acting that's the hardest part of this musical, it's the dancing :P.
@Capricaquarius89 But Sutton makes her outfits look good. And it's not that the STYLES of the outfits are hideous; it's the colors that make you think the designer was either colorblind or drunk as a skunk when they picked out the dyed fabrics.
I don't like how this song was reworked for the stage version. It's hardly recognizable. In the movie, it's got a jaunty jazzy feel to it and it's a solo. This version sounds too much like your run-of-the-mill Broadway showtune with too much chorus singing. The lyrics are almost undecipherable. If I didn't know the song, I wouldn't have a clue what the hell they were saying. Why couldn't they have just had Sutton sing it as a solo with the original orchestrations?
"You were the understudy, right? Tell me what happened!"
"I killed her."
Jonathan Groff auditioned for the chorus. He did the entire dance in an interview once, it was hysterical.
"My mom would kill me if I didn't call you Ma'am"

She is so amazing here, but if you look at her current work you can really see how much she has grown as a performer.

The name of the song is Thoroughly Modern Milly. It was written for the movie of the same name, starring Julie Andrews.

Distracted by the very handsome chorus boy behind Sutton.

@cjs4911 No, he was in college back then. But it does look exactly like him.

@walt1896 I stand corrected.

@walt1896 Erin never got a Tony nod for Chitty, I'm afraid.
Julia Andrews...? Anyone...?

I like Sutton Foster but beginning she reprises the same role all the time... talented woman though.
