The stage version of the much-loved cinema box office smash.

Set in 1992 in the fictional mining town of Grimley, Brassed Off is a heartwarming tale that blends comedy, tragedy and music; the play chronicles the plight of a fictional colliery band which, when faced with closure along with the pit, decides to come out fighting.

Little Theatre Company, continuing its 25th birthday season, invites you to join them for this uplifting story filled with affecting music played live by a brass band specially formed for this production and under the direction of LTC member, Tim Robinson.

Title: Mellows-Thoroughly Modern Millie
Location: Brewhouse
Link out: Click here
Description: ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ takes audiences on a fun-filled ride back in time to the “Roaring Twenties.” Set in New York City in 1922, ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ tells the story of a young girl who comes to New York in search of a new life for herself. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls to sell to the Far East; her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage; and the man she actually falls in love with doesn’t have a dime to his name – or so he tells her. Based on the popular movie, the stage version of Thoroughly Modern Millie includes a full score of new songs and bright dance numbers.

‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ was 2002’s most awarded new show on Broadway and now it’s coming to Burton on Trent!
