Auditions for Urinetown
Book by Greg Kotis
Music by Mark Hollmann
Lyrics by Mark Hollman & Greg Kotis
In this triumphant and uproarious musical send-up, a terrible water shortage has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets in a Gotham-like city. 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. A hilariously funny and touchingly honest satire on the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, corporate mismanagement, and musical theatre itself, Urinetown provides a fresh and timely addition to one of America’s greatest art forms.

Please bring sheet music for a song you have already learned. Mankato Playhouse will provide a pianist at auditions to accompany you.
Do not use a song from the show.
Do not sing to taped music or sing a cappella.
You do not have to sing an entire song. Sixteen to 32 measures should be sufficient. We only want to get an idea of how well you can carry a tune and follow accompaniment. If you are “called back” we will ask you to sing some more.
