Saw “Urinetown: the Musical” put on my my college’s Players Club. A most excellent production! Hilarious send up of the musical theatre style and well, of lands where you have to pay to urinate.

Usually musical theatre is about as exciting as cold soup to me, but this is a very well written show. Some clever songs and the coreography by a gal I know was so much better than that usual Jant Jackson schlep-fest that accompanies so much jazz-dance musical numbers.

The story of how this musical was originally created is great too. Total outsiders who could not get a play called “Urinetown” produced (go figure). But then it took off at the fringe fest in New York and ended up being a huge smash, even winning 3 Tony’s.
