Randolph College PresentsUrinetown, the MusicalMusic and Lyrics Book and LyricsMark Hollman Greg KotisUrinetown was produced on Broadway in September, 2001 by the Araca Group andDodger Theatricals in association with TheaterDreams, Inc., and Lauren MitchellAugust 1-5 @7:30pm, August 5 @ 2:00pmThe Redwood Theatre1300 Gerrard St EastDirection by David BallChoreography by Alison JantzieMusical Direction by Jeannie WyseWinner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of Americas 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 humanitys most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that hes had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!Content Warning: Audience Interaction, some mature contentUrinetown is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.www.mtishows.comTickets at the Box Office are Cash or Credit only, no debit/chip

Urinetown Biography

Urinetown is a musical; the title is sometimes given as Urinetown the Musical. Directed by Tony Award winner John Rando, the show features music by Mark Hollman, lyrics by Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis, and a book by Greg Kotis. It debuted at the New York International Fringe Festival, was produced Off-Broadway and then moved to Broadway, opening at the Henry Miller Theatre on September 20, 2001 (its planned opening having been postponed after the September 11, 2001 attacks). It ran on Broadway through January 18, 2004, closing with a total of 25 previews and 965 performances.

In 2002, the musical won three Tony Awards: for Best Director (John Rando), Best Original Score (Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis), and Best Book of a Musical (Greg Kotis).

It was nominated for an additional six Tonys: Best Musical, Best Actor in a Musical (John Cullum), Best Actress in a Musical (Nancy Opel and Jennifer Laura Thompson), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Spencer Kayden), Best Choreography (John Carrafa), and Best Orchestrations (Bruce Coughlin).

The show honors and lampoons conventions of the popular Broadway stage. The style is often described as "Neo-Brechtian." Specific references and parodies include The Threepenny Opera, Les Misérables, Guys and Dolls, and Our Town.
