Taking the Millennium
Taking the Millennium
We concluded our gender-bending Taking the...​ trilogy with a revue that celebrated musical theatre works that premiered in the 21st century. Many company members stepped up to take the reigns and direct or choreograph a song or two, collaborating to create a show that felt truly Footlights' own.
