Urinetown


This weekend I'm playing bass for a production of Urinetown right here in Riverside. That's right, it's called Urinetown. A brief synopsis from the ad: "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." Blah, blah, blah. Really it's Les Miserables but instead of fighting a miltary revolution, they are fighting for the right to pee in private. It's a very campy show with songs like "It's a Privilege to Pee," "Snuff That Girl" (yes, about murder), and the very tongue in cheek title of "I See a River." The performers a quite good. They are R.C.C. drama students and pull it off quite nicely. Tickets are $15.00 and the show is Oct. 25, 26, and 27 at 8:00 p.m. and Oct. 27 and 28 at 2:00p.m. For more info: http://landispac.com/
