Now you don't have a reason to miss Urinetown The Musical at Beck
Center. This is the show's final weekend and your last chance to find
out what critics have been raving about...

"If 'Urinetown' is a bellwether, it's going to be a golden
season...jokes all funny..One could go on.  Or, one could just go."
~ Tony Brown, Plain Dealer
 "Beck's revival of 'Urinetown'...is flushed with success...a total
delight... If you haven't seen it before, do so now.  If you have seen
it, go again."
~ Roy Berko, The Times
 "...better than ever...smart, acerbic and funny...now's the time to see
how this show was meant to be performed."
~ Bob Abelman, Chagrin Valley Times
" ...wrapped in comical trappings so funny you may, ah, wet your
pants...one great song after another...So it would be a good idea not to
miss this encore production - and that's with a capital Pee."
~ Christine Howey, Rave and Pan
Urinetown The Musical transports audiences to a Gotham-like city where a
20-year drought 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 toilets is
banned and an omnipotent corporation, the Urine Good Company, is
charging citizens to use the bathroom!  This satirical comedy pokes fun
at capitalism, corporate mismanagement, political corruption, social
irresponsibility; and even parodies Broadway theater itself.  Beyond the
absurd, beyond the ridiculous, lies Urinetown The Musical!
Beck Center for the Arts is located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood,
located just 10 minutes west of downtown Cleveland.  Free, convenient
on-site parking is available.  For more information, call 216-521-2540
