Urinetown

Foothill Music Theatre

February 17-March 12, 2006

Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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 must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.

    This production is yet another in a continuing series of hits from FMT and director Jay Manley. The small theatre is both a blessing (intimacy) and a curse (set limitations). As always, Manley gets the most from this very talented cast. Definitely a show worth seeing, but you may have a tough time finding a ticket. Collapse
