MJCCA Arts & Culture Presents its 2016-17 Season Opener: Urinetown: The Musical
July 14, 16, & 17, 2016
ABOUT THE SHOW
Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of America's greatest art forms.
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!
The MJCCA’s production of Urinetown: the Musical will be directed by MJCCA’s Director of Arts & Culture Brian Kimmel, with choreography by Eileen Edwards and music direction by John-Michael D'Havilland.
