I bought this book after listening to the soundtrack and falling in love with it. This book is great as it of course allow you to sing and play those brilliant songs from the musical. This book even have a few color pages of photo, along with a synpnosis and writer bio, from the original broadway company. The only thing I don't like about this book is that, like all other song books, the songs are not in their original key. This is to some people a good point as it is easier but for someone who is eager to sing in original key it can be a disappointment. Also, the book has every song except the song "Muqin" and "I'm Falling in Love with Someone (quarlet)". I love "Muqin" and I believe it would be great fun to sing in Chinese. The quarlet of "I'm Falling in Love with someone" which is directly after "I turned the Corner" is cut and it is one of the most beautiful piece in the show. This is the reason why I only give this book 4 stars.

I love Millie so I have wanted this for a long time. Sometimes I hesitate buying the music books for musicals. The arrangements can slaughter the real music sometimes. This one is really good though. It holds of lot of the good chords that you hear on the soundtrack. It is also really fun to sing a long with. I think this book is definately one of the best vocal books from a musical.

A bit tough at times for intermediate players, but a good choice for those wanting the V/G/P parts for the show.

Found this under "new and used" - thus, paid a little less for a new selections book. It has plenty of songs in it (lots of page turning if you're accompanying).

Thoroughly Modern Millie has been one of my favorite musicals ever since I performed in it a few years ago. The songs are catchy and heartfelt, Gimme Gimme is my favorite. The piano accompaniment is very good in the book. It feels very complete.

I am in love with this musical!! The music is spectacular, the soundtrack is amazing and the movie is cute and spunky with the fabulous Julie Andrews. I was very excited when I found out that the sheet music to Thoroughly Modern Millie was available and I just had to get it!! If you like musicals or 1920's jazz, you will defiantely love this musical!

Item was as advertised and arrived quickly. Amazon is the place to shop. I generally do not like gift cards, but I love amazon gift cards.

This is a great score--great music, great arrangements. Unfortunately, my copy is missing page 48-65, including parts of two songs, and one whole song.

The young girl I bought this for loves it. It was the perfect gift.

I have seen many a musical, including Monty Python's Spamalot, the 25th Annual Putnam Co. Spelling Bee, Kiss Me Kate, Flower Drum Song, etc.. and I have to say that Millie is still and will probably always be my favorite. The music is just so fun. I don't know any other way to describe it. My personal favorite to listen to: the Speed Test. My personal favorite to sing along with: a toss up between I Turned the Corner and Gimme Gimme.
