“If ‘Urinetown’ is a bellwether, it’s going to be a golden season…jokes all funny..One could go on. Or, one could just go.â€￾

~ Tony Brown, Plain Dealer

“Beck’s revival of ‘Urinetown’…is flushed with success…a total delight… If you haven’t seen it before, do so now. If you have seen it, go again.â€￾

~ Roy Berko, The Times

“…better than ever…smart, acerbic and funny…now’s the time to see how this show was meant to be performed.â€￾

~ Bob Abelman, Chagrin Valley Times

“ …wrapped in comical trappings so funny you may, ah, wet your pants…one great song after another…So it would be a good idea not to miss this encore production – and that’s with a capital Pee.â€￾

~ Christine Howey, Rave and Pan

Urinetown The Musical transports audiences to a Gotham-like city where a 20-year drought has made the simplest human necessity, water, more precious than gold. Attempting to regulate its consumption, the government has imposed a bizarre law—the use of private toilets is banned and an omnipotent corporation, the Urine Good Company, is charging citizens to use the bathroom! This satirical comedy pokes fun at capitalism, corporate mismanagement, political corruption, social irresponsibility; and even parodies Broadway theater itself. Beyond the absurd, beyond the ridiculous, lies Urinetown The Musical!

Beck Center for the Arts is located just 10 minutes west of downtown Cleveland at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood. Free, convenient on-site parking is available. For more information, call 216-521-2540 x10 or online at <http://www.beckcenter.org>www.beckcenter.org.

The wall in my bathroom was stubborn (and also really hard too) and it refused to get out of my way this morning.
