Possible answer: Marsha Skaggs also known as Marsha Waterbury. A DVD exists of the La Jolla try-out. Marsha Skagg is mentioned in the description (one of two people mentioned) and one would assume the title character would be mentioned. Her name is not, however, mentioned in association with the Broadway show.

Sutton Foster replaced Erin Dilly in the role of Millie, and it was actually before the La Jolla production opened. She was not a Broadway change.
