*What's this show about?* /Urinetown/ is set in a city where water has 
been scarce for twenty years. The 'Urine Good Company', a malicious 
corporation under the direction of the evil Caldwell B. Cladwell, 
charges citizens exorbitant rates for the use of 'public amenities'... 
the only legal place to answer nature's call. When a young latrine 
worker named Bobby Strong decides to lead a rebellion, he tangles not 
only with local law enforcement, but also with the affections of Mr. 
Cladwell's comely daughter, Hope.

But the plot is merely a vehicle for the writer's ruthless poking at 
Broadway itself, as well as greedy corporations and politicians. Never 
dabbling in 'potty humor', the show instead aims for high satire and 
campy melodrama, with plenty of winks and nudges to the audience. This 
is, most certainly, a 'musical lover's musical'.

The Chagrin Valley Times' Herb Hammer says:

    "The inventive director David Vosburgh has chosen an all-around
    terrific cast. They sing, they dance and create the looniest
    characters librettist Greg Kotis had in mind... The writers have
    done send-ups of a dozen or so old Broadway shows. Each is funnier
    than the last -- "Les Miserables," "Fiddler on the Roof," "West Side
    Story" and several others. Watch carefully. Some of them may slip
    by... an off-the-wall musical comedy you won't soon forget. "

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.
