Princeton Day School students rehearsing for the performance of Urinetown
|
Princeton – Princeton Day School announces the Upper School winter musical, Urinetown, the Tony Award-nominated Broadway show with music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann and book and lyrics by Greg Kotis. The production will run from Thursday, February 20 through Saturday, February 22 in the McAneny Theater on campus. Tickets are on sale now at www.pds.org/boxoffice.
Urinetown takes place during a decades-long drought which has caused water to be a precious commodity. The strain on resources leads to a world in which private toilets are no more, and the public must pay to use the restroom. Narrated by a policeman named Officer Lockstock, along with pigtailed Little Sally, Urinetown follows Bobby Strong, a public amenity employee who dares to ask, "what if the law is wrong?" Seeing the plight of those around him as they struggle to come up with the funds to use the pay-per-use toilets, Bobby starts a revolution by letting customers in for free and standing up to greedy businessman Caldwell B. Cladwell. During his journey, he meets the woman of his dreams, who happens to be Cladwell's daughter, Hope. Filled with playful musical theater references, political schemes, and plenty of heart, Urinetown earned nine Tony nominations in 2002.
The show is appropriate for audiences ages 12 and up.
