Rebecca in the Production of Urinetown
Urinetown? Never heard of it? Neither did I, nor was I thrilled about my daughter participating in such a crass-named buffoonery, until I read the credits of the production: twelve total Broadway awards, including Tony awards for Best Original Score and Best Direction of a Musical (2002).
As it turns out, Urinetown is a delightful musical comedy, poking fun at politics and abusive corporate greed, and includes satirical tips of the hat to other musicals such as Les Misérables and West Side Story — really all musicals in general.
“In an attempt to regulate water consumption, Urinetown has outlawed the use of private toilets. The citizenry must use public, pay-per-use amenities owned and operated by Urine Good Company, a malevolent corporation run by the corrupt Caldwell B. Cladwell.” — BroadwayMusicalHome.com
Rebecca played “Old Ma” Strong, the Mom to the main character who started a revolution against the municipal government and the corrupt Urine Good Company. She also danced in the ensemble as a police officer and rich bureaucrat.
