Theater whizzes

Has all good taste left the arts? Sometimes I wonder. I drove past the campus theater this morning and did a double take. A bold yellow sign promoted their Spring production. Emblazoned across a yellow backdrop in sinuous black letters read: Urinetown - The muscial.

Yes, I get the 'clever' double entendre. But still, who thought anyone would want to see a show entitled thus. Ew. I mean, other than mild curiosity over whether it is set in France, Italy, or some other hygenically challenged place with bad sewers, that title fails to pique my interest in any way. I'd heard the university theater program has gone down the toilet lately, but now they're advertising it.

Jen, Pleasant Grove High School put on 'Urinetown' last February. The show has won several awards and I heard it was a funny, thought provoking musical. Here is a link to the article about it in the Daily Herald. http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/255397/18/
I wish I would have gone when it was here. If you guys get tickets, let me know how you like it. Love, Diane
