Urinetown, the MusicalJuly 24–26, 31 & August 1–2 Oberlin High School Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, Sundays at 3:00pm 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 drought, 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! Learn more… Music and Lyrics by Mark Hollmann. Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotis. "Urinetown" was produced on Broadway in September 2001 by the Araca Group and Dodger Theatricals in association with TheaterDreams, Inc., and Lauren Mitchell. "Urinetown" is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International(MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019, Phone 212-541-4684 Fax: 212-397-4684 www.MTIShows.com Check out the MAD* Factory Website Contact: Linda Michalak, Email or 440.774.7062 Sponsored by |
