Some time ago, someone from the Talon Marks staff told me about the upcoming play, "Urinetown."
I stood in shock for a moment. I couldn't have heard that right. Perhaps it's called "You're in Town?"
No, it's called "Urinetown."
Feb. 5 and 6 are the audition dates at 6 p.m.
All I got from the Cerritos theater page is a list of characters and brief descriptions.
I looked up on Urinetown's Website that it won the following awards:
- three Tony Awards (2002),
- three Outer Critics Circle Awards (2002),
- two Lucille Lortel Awards (2002),
- Drama Desk Awards (2001) and others.
Richard Zoglin, Time Magazine, said it's "Better than The Producers."
According to the Wikipedia entry, it is a satire of capitalism, socialism, bureaucracy, corporate management and small-town politics.
It also parodies Broadway shows such as Les Miserables, Evita, Annie and West Side Story.
Being a fan of parodies, I'll be looking forward to this play.
