ABOUT THE SHOW:
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 excites with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. Winner of three Tony Awards (including Best Book and Best Original Score), three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, 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! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms. (blurb courtesy of MTI)

Initial auditions will consist of 1.5 hour time slots. Each time slot will begin with a group movement audition. Following this, you will be called in individually to sing your audition song. After you have sung, you are free to leave.
MOVEMENT AUDITION: Wear clothes you can move in, and close-toed shoes. You will have a chance to change your clothes before your vocal audition, if you wish (but by no means is that an expectation).
VOCAL AUDITION: Please prepare a song around 32 bars (or approximately 1 minute) that shows us how amazing you are! Musical theater songs are preferred (but please do NOT pick a song from the show). Please bring sheet music in your key, as we will have a live accompanist and do need to hear you sing with the piano. Musicnotes.com is a great resource for music!
Scene readings will be at callbacks, so you don’t need to worry about that at initial auditions, but Anna Grey recommends you familiarize yourself with the story and the script if possible. Copies of the script are available upon request (email auditions@fourcp.org).
