Young Talent Wanted for "Urinetown" Singing Audition
Singing auditions are currently open for young talents interested in "Urinetown". Please check the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! 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. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. Rate: This is a volunteer opportunity. There is no pay. Additional info: Please prepare 16-32 bars of a song in the style of the show or from the show. If you plan to utilize our accompanist, please bring sheet music. You may also sing a cappella, or with a prepared track.
