thoroughly modern millie

The title song opening number ""Thoroughly Modern Millie"" sets the stage for the tuneful, dance-filled pastiche to come, and a mixture of standard tunes and new songs with music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by Dick Scanlan are enhanced by the brilliantly enthusiastic choreography of Denis Jones, who also directs the show

Jones, the director/choreographer, pays attention to everybody's elbows with his full-bodied choreography. Arms, legs, elbows and knees are bent, flapped, pointed, knocked, flipped, spun and waved in a succession of free-wheeling routines. Jones takes advantage of every chance for a dance.
