Urinetown, The Musical: Seriously

Raleigh Little Theatre will present late this summer, the Tony Award winning musical “Urinetown” August 3-4, 9-11, 16-18, 23-25 at 8:00pm, and August 5, 12, 19, 26 at 3:00pm. It will be performed at the Sutton Theatre on Pogue St., behind the Rose Garden.

I’ve heard a lot of buzz about this show, and will actually force myself to go see it. Live performances just don’t get the audiences they should.

I’m not really sure what to expect, but as it was pitched to me:

“An earnest fable of love, greed and revolution set in a town plagued by drought. A simple enough plot, complete with villain, hero and romance: a malevolent corporation controls the town’s public amenities; the president’s daughter falls in love with the leader of a pee-for-free rebellion.“

The First Sunday showing is $10.  All regular times, Adults $18, Seniors/Students $15.

    the sutton theatre is actually the indoor mainstage theatre.  a great space with a great history.

    the ampitheatre is a different name, but it IS beautiful.  go see shows there!

    Whooops! Thanks for the correction Jesse- I was thinking “An outdoor musical, that would be wild!“ smile
