I believe that Megan Lawrence played the role fringe, off-broadway (and later on broadway). I'm pretty sure that she was preggers during the off-broadway run (which is why Little Becky's character is pregnant). The opening of Urinetown was probably during her first maternity leave (son August, born in August, and Urinetown's opening was delayed by 9/11...)

Thank you for posting this - I loved revisiting this show!!! This was the first Broadway musical I ever saw. By the date, this was a performance from early previews - I saw it in late 2002, over a year later. It's really fascinating to think back and compare what they tweaked and changed. One particular favourite moment of mine from the performance I saw: at 39:30, after "Follow Your Heart", Laura and Hunter stood staring off into the middle distance as the audience applauded, then *kept* staring like that after the applause had died down, until the audience caught on and laughed. Not only was it hilariously awkward, it was a nice way to "call out" the theatrical convention of waiting until an audience is done clapping after a musical number, in keeping with the show's self-awareness about theatrical tropes :)

Nick Lopez it depends on the audition process, but Bobby and Lockstock both have to have an actor with great comedic timing! If they give you lines to read, think of creative funny gestures to do while doing so, and same goes with the song you choose to sing! Also, once you’re in the show, no matter who you end up playing, make your character big and just have so much fun with it. It’s probably one of the most out there shows in existence, so make sure you match up to that!!

This may be a really dumb, really obvious question, but I've always wondered: how can the toilets be public if they're controlled by the private company UGC? My confusion stems from the fact that my high school teacher commented that URINETOWN was a satire about capitalist greed, but then my college professor said that URINETOWN was a satire about government/bureaucratic mismanagement.... Umm?
@IPGshair8 жыл бұрын
+Amelia Doubleyou The toilets are public as in all people have to use them. No one can own their own toilet, a private toilet. All of the toilets are owed and controlled by a private company to be used by the public. UGC is a company that has a monopoly on public toilets. Since there are laws against private toilets are people peeing freely anywhere they want, the people have to use UGC's public toilets. Even though UGC is a company and not a government funded thing. UGC could be called more of a megacorporation since it has a monopoly on a certain thing and has the police to back them up and can kill people, thus making UGC above the law. There are differences between company and corporation, but I won't go into that right now. But my own comments on the satire/ideas of it: I don't really think it is really capitalist greed, since the people really needed to have a smaller amount of people used toilets/wasting water. At the end they same that Bobby's idea of free peeing is bad and many people die of dehydration. Of course I would not fully condone the UGC's actions, the killing and all, ya know. And they do exploit the poor and there is capitalist greed. But I think it is more of a satire of gov mismanagement on the government that allowed the UGC and Bobby's people. Since neither of the corporations/companies were in control of the government. But the government almost actively participated with the public toilets since there were laws forcing people to use UGC's toilets. Also I would say it is satire of a public uprising/revolution and the people's resulting government. Maybe I would even say it is a satire of socialist government. Since most socialist government's don't have enough supplies to met the needs of the people and then people die because of it. But the socialist gov part of my ideas are if we pretend that both of the companies were really the government, or symbolism of govrnment. I wouldn't say it is that far of a stretch since we don't see any government officials besides the police, and they're on the side of the UGC. It is all really murky around UGC vs gov and on which is which. Is UGC the governemnt? No, it is a company, Urine Good Company with a president and all of their own hierarchy. But UGC can get the police to do their bidding and have laws made in their favor. UGC even has a politician in their pocket, the character of Senator Flipp! Also the UGC punishes the people who break toilet based laws, or laws that are not in UGC's favor. I hope this helped clearing things up, even though I got on a tangent about the meaning of the musical and didn't really talk that much on private vs public things.

I don't really think it's either. It's more of a satire on narratives (musicals, mainly) about economic inequality, capitalist greed, and bureaucracy. It's mocking musicals like Les Miserables that make heroic underdog stories out of over-simplified political situations. It simultaneously satirizes corporate hypocrisy/greed and acknowledges the elephant in the room: these idealistic concepts of freedom and total equality that we see on stage are ineffective. You overthrow the bad guy and then what? The societal needs they satisfied just disappear? This isn't making much sense but anyway, I think it's making fun of stories about the subject matter more so than mocking the subject matter itself.

Pertaining to some of the posted comments about toilets being public or private, intellectual property like a Broadway musical is private too... owned by people whose livelihood depends on earning an income from audiences who pay to see it... until somebody decides to illegally record a performance and make the private IP public property. They should make a musical about Broadway buffs who love musicals so much they egregiously and willfully violate the property rights of the authors and composers and producers who create the content the violators love. Here’s the perfect name for that musical satire: Oxymoron.
@IPGshair6 жыл бұрын
Oh fuck you. Get off your high horse. First off, how the fuck does making a video of a show make it public property? Recording a show doesnt make it okay for the public to use (what public property means). To put on a production you still have to pay the owner to do so. And bootlegs of productions are still illegal. Second, you realise the main reason people keep illegally recording musicals is because the people who own them dont record it themselves? If more owners of musicals recorded videos of their musical, there would probably be less illegally recorded ones. And recording these bootlegs doesnt take money from the maker's pockets, if anything it might increase it. Someone might see a bootleg of a musical they've never heard of and become a fan and then see the show. I've watched actually legally made videos of musicals (thanks germany!) and became huge fans of them. I actually bought a licensed DVD of a professionally shot musical, so the owners of that musical profited from just me doing that not to mention if I ever see the show live. If given the chance to see that musical live, or any other musical I became a fan of from watching their pro-shot, I would do so in a heart beat. Any musical fan can tell you that when given the choice of a bootleg and actually seeing the show, they take the show. And some bootlegs of shows are from shows that have closed or flopped horribly. I am the biggest fan of Lestat the musical after I watched some bootlegs of it, but it flopped so bad Elton john never even released the cast recording, I know it exists they recorded it a week before the show closed. The only way to listen or watch the show currently is via bootlegs. And if Elton John ever released that cast recording I would buy the physical CD of it the day it came out.
