Thoroughly Modern Millie

Rated 4.0


The new production at Runaway Stage has all the things that make their shows enjoyable: a pair of fantastic lead voices for Millie (Andrea St. Clair) and Jimmy (Scott Woodard), some energetic steppin’ that includes a bit of tap dancing, a live orchestra and a cute character turn by Tevye Ditter, who normally plays leading roles. It also has the annoying “snap,” “crackle” and “pop” from the sound system, which is easier to ignore with all the action on stage. Runaway Stage Productions, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays; $12-$20.
24th Street Theatre, 2791 24th Street; (916) 207-1226; www.runawaystage.com. Through May 25.
