Performed by six actors in contemporary casual clothes and directed by Jack Cummings III and Dick Scanlan (the book writer for "Thoroughly Modern Millie"), the show opens with an 18-year-old Millay (Hannah Corneau, lively, fervent and wearing a mostly see-through blouse) already composing "Renascence," the poem that will bring her fame, if not the prize money that she and her just-scraping-by mother and sisters hope for.
