Urinetown the Musical

I've heard some very interesting news... Consider:

What would happen if the water was gone? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever wondered what it would be like?

Statistics show that the most water is used with toilets and urinals, both public and private. Now imagine that your bathroom has been permanently removed and your government has announced toilets would be privatized... in other words, you have to pay to pee.

Urinetown the Musical is based on this idea.

Caldwell B. Cladwell, the man who is charge of the dirtiest, filthiest public amenity in town and a smooth-talking senator, Fipp, plot to raise the price for the use of the public urinal.

The plots goes and we learn that those who don't pay the pee-fee... they are sent to Urinetown. "A metaphysical place of sorts" or so the locals say. Nobody knows what awaits Urinetown, all live in fear of the phantom town... known as Urinetown!

If this weren't enough, Bobby not only falls in love with Cladwell's only flesh-and-blood daughter, Hope Cladwell, leads a protest with the poor people of the town, to fight against Cladwell and his money-grubbing Urine Good Company (U.G.C.) crew.

The show has been successful off-Broadway, then on Broadway... recently it played in Vancouver, and now the relatively small but talent-laden town of Summerland, B.C. has taken on the task of putting on this show.

The cast is small, with several leads playing in the chorus as well. These are definately a talented bunch as they all participate in almost every single scene and musical number throughout the show. Rehearsals are coming to a close and the show is about to go on, everyone is now feeling the pressure now that we're coming down to the crunch...

Now Consider:

What are you doing in the week of august 4th to the 8th? What could you be doing? You could be sitting home watching the same old boring television... or...

You could be watching an epic struggle for life, liberty and freedom... to pee! See a colorful bunch of characters fight against an oppressive company plotting to take away man's one and only sacred right... watch as man struggles to free their porcelain throne! And yes... it's family friendly!

Okay enough of the jokes... the show runs August 4-8 all 8pm showings. Tickets are $15 at the door or at the Sweet Tooth located in downtown Summerland!!!
