Last week, my daughter was cast in Urinetown. Yup. I said it....Urinetown. Urinetown is said to be, one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years. It's a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is nearly non-existant.
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, controled by a single company that profits by charging admission to pee.
One of those charged to pee decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! The privilege to pee is expensive and dangerous. Anyone who refuses to pay to pee is immediately and without question hauled off to Urinetown.
What is Urinetown? Nobody knows, because those who are sent there never return to say. No worries however, it's really a love story and the revolution takes place all before the end of Act I.
Will the revolution succeed? Can true love be found in Urinetown? You've gotta come see the show to find out. If you're local, check it out. It runs from August 7th - August 15th. Stay tuned for more details.
