A “BRILLIANTLY funny and entertaining show for all the family” will be performed at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford.

Thoroughly Modern Millie is the revival of a classic musical that stars Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Dancing on Ice star Hayley Tamaddon.

The show takes audiences back to the height of the Jazz Age in 1920s New York City, when ‘moderns’ were bobbing their hair, raising their hemlines, entering the workforce and rewriting the rules of love.

Flapper girl Millie Dillmount is one of these moderns, and the show follows her adventures after she arrives in New York from Kansas, determined to make it big in the city.

Set pieces range from explosive tap numbers to a ‘Fred and Ginger’ dance routine on a window ledge, and hit songs include Gimme Gimme and Not for the Life of Me.

Thoroughly Modern Millie, which proved a hit during its spring tour last year with Strictly Come Dancing star Joanne Clifton, runs from June 5 to 9.

Hayley Tamaddon is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Del Dingle in Emmerdale and Andrea Beckett in Coronation Street and for winning the fifth series of ITV1’s Dancing on Ice.

Other television credits include Accused, Shameless, Waterloo Road, Where the Heart Is and The Royal.

Her musical theatre roles include UK tours as Roxie Hart in Chicago, The Lady of the Lake in Spamalot, and Janet in The Rocky Horror Show
