Torrington, CT – On Friday May 23rd, Saturday May 24th and Sunday May 25th, the students from the Warner Theatre Center for Arts Education Performance Lab will present Urinetown the Musical in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.
Zach Roberts, who heads to Berklee College in Boston next year, plays Bobby Strong. Emma Seyer plays Hope Cladwell, the love interest of Bobby and can be heard on YouTube. Officer Barrel (A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens) will be played by Jeremy Piotkewicz.
Winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Book and Score, and one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous satire, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. "For anarchic, first-rate comic relief, get thee to Urinetown." - Time Out Magazine
