Urinetown – July 3rd

The summer season opens with the satirical but a little off-the-wall musical, Urinetown. It all starts with the sixteenth letter of the alphabet, P. The letter which speaks for itself or, when spelled out, pee, is the central theme to this fast-paced music al Urinetown. As a metaphor for the over-arching intrusion of big corporations into all aspects of our lives, the plucky cast of citizens fights back as the UGC Company (Urine Good Company) attempts to raise the rates on access to public toilets. With music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann, and book and lyrics by Greg Kotis the cast makes its case against the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and municipal politics with music, humour, and boycotts as several love stories emerge from the mayhem. Opening July 1st through to the 8th.
