            Cleveland, OH-- The Beck Center for the Arts proudly
presents Urinetown the Musical, opening on the Mackey Main Stage
September 16th and running through October 9th.

            A wild and happy mix of biting satire and loving parody,
Urinetown the Musical transports audiences to a Gotham-like city where
ecological disaster has made the simplest human necessity, water, more
precious than gold.  Attempting to regulate its consumption, the
government has imposed a bizarre law-the use of private restrooms is
banned and an omnipotent corporation, the Urine Good Company, is
charging citizens money to use the toilet! =20

            In 2002, Urinetown the Musical was a three-time Tony Award
winner for Best Score, Best Book of a Musical and Best Direction. Beck's
own version of the Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis play is directed by Beck
Center Artistic Director Scott Spence and features dazzling and
hilarious tunes like, "It's A Privilege To Pee." The Beck Center is
excited to feature Greg Violand as Caldwell B. Cladwell and Matthew
Wright as Officer Lockstock, among others.

            "I am thrilled to be producing this at the Beck Center,"
says Spence.  "From the moment I saw the Broadway production I knew that
Beck's Main Stage would be the perfect venue for this hilarious new
musical.  It is a glimpse into the very bright future of American
musical theatre!"

Beyond the sublime, beyond the ridiculous, lies Urinetown the Musical.
The Beck Center's production of this untamed, comic gem is sponsored by
WCPN 90.3 ideastream, WDOK 102.1 FM, Moen, and LakewoodBuzz.com.  Show
times are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at
3:00 p.m. =20

For tickets, call the Beck Center box office at (216) 521-2540 or log

for adults, $25 for seniors (65 and older), and $17 for students (22 and
under with ID), and includes a $2 administrative fee per ticket applied
