University of Alberta Opera Theatre Presents: AMusical That’s Literally “Pissing” Off Conventions!
Hold onto your hats (and your bladder!) The University of Alberta Opera Theatre is about to flush your expectations down the drain with their upcoming production of Urinetown: The Musical. It’s quirky, it’s sardonic, and it’s the most fun you can have with a water shortage. This unconventional satire on corporate greed, social justice, and the price of well.....using the restroom, hits the stage on January 8, 9, 10 and 11 at Convocation Hall on the University of Alberta campus. In a world where water is more precious than gold, the musical takes us to a dystopian society where access to toilets is a privilege - one that comes
with a steep fee. When the working class revolts against the
corporate-controlled bathroom monopoly, what follows is a hilarious and surprisingly profound exploration of human nature, power, and the consequences of taking everything for granted.
Urinetown takes on contemporary issues with sharp wit, irreverent humour, and a surprisingly catchy score. The talented cast of U of A Opera Theatre will bring to life a world where the simplest human need becomes a battleground for rebellion, love and revolution. With raucous numbers like “It’s a Privilege to Pee” and “Run, Freedom, Run!” expect songs that stick with you longer than that last sip of water before the show starts. Don't let the title fool you - this is no bathroom humour showcase (well, not entirely). Beneath the slapstick antics and over-the-top parody, Urinetown
packs a serious punch, addressing themes of power, corruption, and inequality that will leave you thinking long after the final curtain.
