Hello all my theatre loving friends! Just wanted to let you know that my current show, URINETOWN at OnStage Atlanta, will be enjoying it's 4th SOLD OUT weekend starting tomorrow night. We have officially extended the show two extra weeks, so now we'll be running through April 8th....if they don't extend it again! I am very proud of this show, and as a whole, I think it's the best one I've been a part of to date. Book your tickets now because they're selling fast!!
Jim Farmer, theatre critic for SOUTHERN VOICE, says:
" ONE OF the most original and bold Broadway musicals of the last five years, "Urinetown The Musical" is enjoying a robust staging at Onstage Atlanta.
Director Greg Poulos brings a sharp eye for detail to the piece. Onstage’s small stage might strike some as a hindrance, but Poulos and choreographer Ricardo Aponte
maximize the space.
The large cast is impressive. McNaughton’s Lockstock delivers an appropriately tongue-in-cheek performance. Jenna Edmonds, a great young actress, is completely assured as the inquisitive Little Sally.
But the best performances come from Alli Simpson and Sims Banes. Simpson growls through "It’s a Privilege to Pee" with comedic ferociousness, and Banes offers a lovely naiveté that makes Hope believable. Both women can sing and act with requisite stage presence.
"Urinetown" is so rich and fool-proof, it’s pretty difficult to stage it badly. Luckily, Poulos and his cast don’t just go through the motions. They are more than ready for the challenge offer a solid version that is one of the year’s best shows.
Urinetown: The Musical
Venue: Onstage Atlanta
Music and lyrics by Mark Hollman. Book and lyrics by Greg Kotis.
Urinetown is a darkly sardonic Brechtian tale and with the show itself the Cinderella. The idea -- an ecological disaster driven revolutionary saga parodying the likes of A Beggar's Opera, The Cradle Will Rock, Les Miz and West Side Story -- was born during a Paris vacation from hell when cash-strapped book writer-lyricist Greg Kotis had to tend to his basic needs in the city's public bathrooms.
