Shenandoah Valley Governor's School Closes URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL, 1/24
Shenandoah Valley Governor's School's theatre program production of Urinetown, the award-winning, contemporary Broadway show will close on January 24, 2010.
Urinetown: The Musical is a satirical comedy musical, with music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Kotis. It satirizes capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and petty small town politics. It also is a satire of the Broadway musical as a form. In reverse pantomime style, the unconventional plotline shatters audience expectations of a pleasant ending. The show was produced Off-Broadway at the American Theatre for Actors and then moved to Broadway, opening at Henry Miller's Theatre on September 20, 2001 and closed on January 18, 2004, after 25 previews and 965 performances.
