When are the contracts of the actors up? When is <insert cast member here> leaving?
All of the ensemble members have signed chorus Production contracts, which are open-ended. Unless terminated, they can be employed for the run of the show, or however long it remains open, and can leave to pursue other projects at any time. All of the principals are signed for one year, and their contracts expire March 19, 2003 (this date is not confirmed - it is one year from the first day of previews). At latest, their contracts would expire in April 2003. As of now, there are no announcements about who is staying after they have completed the duration of their contract. Marc Kudisch, who plays Trevor Graydon, left the production January 26, 2003 to begin rehearsals for the New York City Opera production of A Little Night Music, but is returning on April 29. Christopher Sieber (Into the Woods, Triumph of Love, Beauty and the Beast) will be playing the role of Trevor Graydon for the next three months. Gavin Creel will be out of the show for some 35 performances due to filming of the Julie Andrews movie Eloise at Christmastime and these performances will be added to the end of his contract. Other than this, there is no confirmed news as to who is renewing their contract after expiration.
Is the tour going out union or non-union?
The first national tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie will be going out on an Actors' Equity Production Contract. It is slated to run two years beginning in June 2003. A full list of tour dates is not yet up, but stops are planned for Kansas City, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and several other cities at this time.

When is <insert cast member here> going on as <insert principal role here>? Will <insert cast member here> be in at the performance I attend?
All cast members are currently signed to 8 show per week contracts. This means that unless an actor is ill, has personal business or has a planned vacation, you can reasonably believe that they will be in the show when you see it. There is always a possibility that an actor will not be there. You can find out if it is known whether there are any planned vacations currently known and the past shows that actors have missed by checking out the history page.
Where can I find lyrics to the show?
If you own the cast recording of the show, you will be able to find the lyrics within the liner notes that came with the CD case. If not, you can find the lyrics to the show by making a search query at Google.
Where can I find the promotional CD/demo that was out before the show came to Broadway?
At this time, the promotional CD is out of circulation, and due to copyright concerns in a rumble seat... has complied with the producers' wishes that clips from the demo CD not be posted on this site.

Does Sutton Foster come out the stage door after matinees?
The role of Millie Dillmount is one of the most demanding and grueling of all of the principal roles currently on Broadway. She is on stage for at least three quarters of the show, if not more, and with the constant publicity that Sutton must also do in her off-time, it is needless to say rather exhausting. Therefore, the majority of the time Sutton naps between shows and does not come out of the stage door. Try to go to the stage door to meet her after an evening show -- she is quite gracious when chatting with fans and signing autographs. All other performers, unless they have other time constraining commitments to attend to between shows, usually come out of the stage door.
Are there discounts available?

What's the deal with student rush?
Check out the student rush section of the tickets page for more information.
When is the sheet music for the show coming out?
There is no slated release date, but it is aimed to hit shelves in April 2003.
Can I perform Millie at my school or community theatre?
Not yet. The vast majority of the time, licensing companies do not pick up shows from producers until after the original Broadway production has closed. As the producers still own all performing rights to the show, you cannot legally perform Millie at your high school, college or community theatre at this time. As soon as a licensing company allows for the performing of amateur productions, we will post information here. Be aware that even when the show is available, permission from the licensing company must be obtained before the show begins, and royalties must be paid.
Where can I find out more about <insert performer's name here>?
Check out the cast page. All playbill headshots, as well as linked lists of Broadway credits or websites for the performers can be found there.
Who is <insert performer's name here> going out with?
All portions of this site, including any interactive feature (chat, forum, etc.) currently apply a "zero tolerance" policy for the discussion of the performers' personal lives. Unfortunately, no information of this nature will be obtained on this website.
When is Millie closing?
Millie is on an open-ended run, which means that it has no closing date posted. Given the weekly grosses of the Broadway production, which range typically from $600K - $900K, it is unlikely that the production will close any time soon. I would estimate that the show will run for at least two to three years, but this is just my personal opinion and I do not have any information to confirm such a claim.
