Broadway has come to Southwest with Southwest’s new musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie”  at Southwest’s auditorium. With opening night this Thursday, no student will not want to miss the school’s biggest production since the school opened in 2010.

The student cast of the musical has been hard at work since production in January. The cast has had musical rehearsal almost every day since the production began, including weekend rehearsals. The plot of the musical is a young girl from a small town with big dreams who comes by chance to new york. The show has many subplots within it, including some love stories. The musical has a lot of comedy, drama, and romance and can appeal to almost every avid show watcher. The props of the play add even more to the scenery of the musical as well.

Cast member Bailey Cockerham is on of several cast members who also have extra school activities to balance. In her case, basketball.

Bailey is a chorus member of the play, and describes the entire production as “So much fun!” the cast has grown very close throughout the course of the production; many new friends have been made. “We are a family, I love everyone so much!”

Bailey tells us about the cast. As for funny moment in rehearsal, Bailey recalls a funny incident, when a fellow cast member Mason Wilkinson “fell out of a laundry cart” The musical’s comical parts have added to the amounts of laughter in rehearsals as well.

The cast that’s has grown to be a family will have their final performance on Sunday. no student  would want to miss a huge school event like this. Support your fellow T-wolves this Thursday at 7:00 pm in the auditorium for a performance of “Throughtly Modern Millie”.
