Editor's note: This is the same director,Garrett Bradley, who did a FABULOUS job with Into the Woods last season. And Urinetown is a wonderful entertaining thought provoking musical. These auditions may be worth the drive...?! As I imagine the show will be, as well.
Auditions for the Owosso Community Players’ September production of the 2002 Tony-Award-Winning musical Urinetown The Musical will take place at 7 p.m. on June 25 and 26 at the Vineyard Church, 208 West Main Street in Owosso.
Director Garrett Bradley asks that all who audition come with a prepared song, preferably one from musical theater. Performers will also be asked to read scenes and learn a movement combination. There are many roles available for men and women, ages 16 and up. Vocal director is Chris Sprink.
Urinetown is “a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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 he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!”
Terry Teachout of The Washington Post said Urinetown is “A joyously cynical musical about musicals, whose barbed, knowing wit made me laugh so long and hard that my cheeks were sore all the way home.” The Village Voice called the musical, “Sly and funny,” and famed theater critic Rex Reed reported in The New York Observer, “What kind of musical is this? A fresh, unique, original, impudent, colorful, exciting, irreverent, surprising and wonderful musical, that’s all!!”
Production dates are September 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, & 15 at the Studio Theater. For more information or to set up a separate audition time due to any conflicts, contact Julie Wenzlick at 989-723-2084.
