      About the Play

*Directed by David Vosburgh
Musical Direction by David Keith Stiver
Choreographed by Pamela LaForce *

/Urinetown/ is a musical quite unlike any other. It parodies the 
government, big business, and even Broadway itself - audiences familiar 
with staples like /Fiddler On The Roof/ , /West Side Story/ , /Big 
River/ and /Sweet Charity/ are sure to roar with laughter at the skewed 
and skewering musical attacks. Songs such as "Don't Be The Bunny" and 
"It's a Privilege to Pee" are sure to have you doubled over... and 
that's only Act 1!

In 2002, /Urinetown/ won three Tony Awards: Best Director (John Rando), 
Best Original Score (Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis), and Best Book of a 
Musical (Greg Kotis). It was also nominated for an additional seven 
Tonys, including Best Musical and Best Orchestrations.

Originally inspired by coin-operated public toilets in Europe, writer 
Greg Kotis and composer Mark Hollman fling audiences into one of the 
most irreverent, clever, and hilariously savage satires ever set to 
music. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 
20-year draught, has led to a government-enforced ban on private 
toilets. The citizens are forced to use public amenities which are 
regulated by a malevolent, profiteering bureaucracy called U.G.C. (Urine 
Good Company). Those who break the rules are sent away to a 
Guantanamo-like prison called 'Urinetown'. Finally, one brave young man 
named Bobby decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them 
all to freedom!

CVLT was voted 'Best Community Theatre' by Cleveland Magazine Readers, 
and 'Best Theatre Group' on the Fox 8 HotList in 2007.

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is generously funded by Cuyahoga County 
residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and is supported by the Ohio 
Arts Council.
