A sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their audition! Emails will be going out Monday, May 3rd to all who participated.
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, 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 provides a fresh perspective on 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 that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertolt 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.
Many parts can be played by any gender. This is an incredible ensemble musical production that will perform on the Garza Mainstage.
This will be a fast-paced audition-only class and students will be expected to learn much of the music prior in order to ensure a smooth rehearsal process.
Fee: $449 + $35 registration. There is no fee to audition. Once casting is announced, registration must be completed within 24 hours to secure your spot. Payment plans are available.
