THE MUSICAL:
Urinetown the Musical
Music and Lyrics by Mark Hollman
Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotis
Directed by George Barberi
Music Directed by Kelly Lackey
Choreographed by Mandy Hassett
A side-splitting send-up of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown procides a fresh perspective of one of America’s greatest art forms.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertoit Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
Rated PG-13
Urinetown the Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). www.MTIShows.com
