Review: 

 The Tony-Award exploits of Sutton Foster are still on view in the title role of Thoroughly Modern Millie, more than sufficient reason to take advantage of "Season of Savings" discounts available at 1-800-ILOVENY and ilovenytheater.com. This budding superstar belts, taps and charms with the best of them. And the award-winning villainess, Harriet Harris, is still stopping the show with her dragon-lady shtick as Mrs. Meers.

Book and new music also live up to their press clippings, staying close to the nutty spirit and storyline of the 1967 film while sprinkling new twists along the way. And the deathless "Mammy" is sung in Chinese. Thoroughly irresistible.
