Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr Cast of Characters
Quick Casting Insight: Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr depends on a powerhouse Millie, strong comic villains, and ensemble performers who can fully embrace the musical’s 1920s style. Dance, stamina, and clean character choices matter a lot in this show.
Millie Dillmount
Millie is the sweet, determined ingénue with grit, charm, and ambition. This is a true star vehicle role and one of the most vocally demanding roles in the Broadway Junior catalog. Cast an exceptional performer with a strong Broadway-style voice, stamina, charisma, comedy instincts, acting ability, and enough dance confidence to carry the show.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G#3–E5
Jimmy
Jimmy is Millie’s confident, cocky, and charming romantic counterpart. He should feel cute, goofy, self-assured, and likable. Cast a strong singer with comic timing, movement ability, and natural chemistry with Millie.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: C4–G5
Mrs. Meers
Mrs. Meers is the villain of the story, with a comic style somewhere between Cruella De Vil and Miss Hannigan. This role needs a fearless scenery-chewer with strong timing, big facial expressions, and the confidence to make bold comedic choices.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–F#4
Miss Dorothy
Miss Dorothy is elegant, polished, and more classical in style than Millie. She should contrast clearly with Millie in personality, voice, and physical presence. Cast a strong actress with a beautiful, more traditional vocal sound.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: F#4–F5
Miss Flannery
Miss Flannery is the stern, uptight office manager. She is no-nonsense, proper, and tightly wound, which makes her a great comic role. This part is ideal for an emerging performer ready to step out of the chorus. Tap skills and comic timing are a major plus.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A4–C5
Ching Ho
Ching Ho is one of two brothers from China working to bring their mother to the United States. This role requires a performer willing to take on language, music, acting, and movement challenges. Ching Ho is the more demanding of the two brothers and should be played by a boy.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb3–E5
Bun Foo
Bun Foo is Ching Ho’s brother and shares the same goal of bringing their mother to America. Like Ching Ho, this role requires focus, musical skill, movement, and willingness to learn Chinese text and lyrics.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: D4–E5
Trevor Graydon the Third
Trevor Graydon is Millie’s boss and the man she is determined to marry. He should be polished, handsome, funny, and just a little ridiculous. Cast a strong singer who is not afraid to be goofy and theatrical.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: A3–F5
Hotel Priscilla Girls
The Hotel Priscilla Girls are the fellow boarders where Millie stays. This group should feel varied in personality, look, attitude, and energy. Featured girls with solo lines include Ruth, Gloria, Rita, Alice, Cora, Lucille, and Ethel Peas. Cast strong singers and actresses who can create distinct characters within the group.
Gender: Female
Mama
Mama is Ching Ho and Bun Foo’s mother from China and makes a surprise cameo during the finale. This is a fun walk-on role that can be given to a principal, local celebrity, parent, or special guest. No singing or dancing is required.
Gender: Female
Ensemble
The ensemble can be expanded in many ways. Directors can add more Hotel Priscilla residents, street characters, speakeasy guests, jail scene performers, office workers, and additional featured roles. This flexibility makes Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr useful for schools that want both strong leads and broad student participation.
Gender: Any
