On the 17th November Urinetown launched, a brilliant dark comedy musical tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold and a terrible drought has outlawed private toilets and a public health act forbids public urination! This production is being brought to us by the revolutionary team of Paul Grace, Robert Randall and Penny Brown and will be staged at the Mitre Theatre next Easter. We're so excited to see what they'll do with a show that catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.

If you don't know the show, you're in for a treat! It's an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Emulating the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown has been praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be. Like the Mitre Players ourselves, Urinetown is no stranger to awards, winning three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic’s Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards,

We look forward to welcoming you at the launch on Sunday 17th at 6pm, and for those interested in auditioning, auditions are Sunday 1st December and recalls, if needed, are on Sunday 15th December.
