We are doing the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie and it is super fun. Just look it up, cause it's kinda hard to explain. Okay, so I know you won't look it up so here's what it's about (get ready cause this is gonna be long):  So this girl named Millie Dillmount moves from Kansas to New York in the 1922 hoping to become one of those "moderns" and to marry her boss so that she could become rich without having to work. But the second she gets there (after she sings the first song), she get mugged and she tries to get somebody's attention but no one will pay attention to her. So then she trips the next person to walk by, a guy named Jimmy Smith. Then she tells him what happens and he doesn't care and he gets mad at her and tries to leave but she won't let him. She says she has no money (her purse got stolen), nowhere to stay and no job. So then he tells here about this boarding house for actresses called the Hotel Priscilla. She goes there and gets a room but then a week later she can't pay so she's about to get kicked out, until this girl called Miss Dorothy comes looking for a room (she's rich and Millie is poor). So then they sing a song about it and then they agree to be roomates. But then Mrs. Meers, the owner, says that someone just "checked out"  and they didn't have to share a room afrer all. But then you find out that the person who "checked out" was an orphan who got shipped to China for white slavery, and Mrs. Meers wanted orphans since their disappearance often goes unnoticed. And there are these Chinese brothers, who are actually played by Just Kidding and his real-life brother in my play. They are trying to raise enough money for their mom to come from China by working as laundry boys in the Hotel Priscilla, but they have to help with the kidnapping as well. After they sing a song about it, in the next scene Millie goes looking for a job with one of New York's most eligible bachelors, Trevor Graydon III. Then, even though Millie has no previous employers or references, he hires her because they sang a song testing her skills as a stenog and she could type really fast (and sing really well) and she is really happy. To celebrate, she and the other Priscilla girls go looking for the "forbidden fruit" (alcohol) (and yes this was included in our play)  But after they had traipsed around for 2 hours, they were tired and were going to ask the next person they see for directions. But then the next person is Jimmy, and Millie is not too happy about that considering their last encounter. But then they realize that he probably knows directions, so they ask him. But then they get busted by the police when they are at the alcohol place and they get arrested. So when they are waiting in line for their mug shot, Jimmy and Millie start talking, and they finally introduce themselves. But then Jimmy realizes that he's falling in love with Millie, and then he sings a song about it. And then........... I really don't feel like writing the rest, so here's the link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoroughly_Modern_Millie_(musical)

And here's the link to the actual broadway musical (act 2 is in the related thing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v212UUWicbU

And there's a kiss in there, so in case you are wondering, did they actually allow them to kiss in middle school? And the answer is yes, kind of. They had to kiss on the cheek. But they were the most adorable thing ever (after Auslly) cause they were 2 7th graders and they just made the most adorable couple. And at first he absolutely refused to kiss her, but then she started calling him a wimp and he eventually did it, due to much pestering from the teachers. But when he finally did it, she was so suprised that she missed her cue to start singing, and it was really cute. They are just so adorable together!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope they get together in high school!!!!!!!!!!
