/IT'S ANYTHING BUT 'POTTY HUMOR!'/ -- Nominated for *TEN Tony® Awards*
in 2002, winner of three, including *Best Score* and *Best Book*. The
show also garnered *THREE Outer Critics Circle Awards*, *NINE Drama Desk
Awards*, and a dozens of additional awards, nominations and accolades!
CVLT's own production is getting nothing but rave reviews from audiences
and critics alike; Herb Hammer of the Chagrin Valley Times calls it
"fabulous... Chagrin Valley Little Theatre turns /Urinetown/ into an
off-the-wall musical comedy you won't soon forget!"
Writer Greg Kotis and composer Mark Hollman fling audiences into one of
the most irreverent, clever, and hilariously savage satires ever set to
music. The 20-member cast of this critically-acclaimed musical, which
ran for nearly a thousand performances on Broadway from 2001-2004, takes
witty jabs at government, big business, and even Broadway itself...
everything from /West Side Story/ to /Les Misérables/!
So what's it about? Taking inspiration from coin-operated public toilets
in Europe, the story takes place in a destitute city, where 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 decides he's had enough, and plans a
revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Directed by David Vosburgh, Musical Direction by David Keith Stiver,
Choreography by Pamela LaForce
