"The Play" Oops "The Musical"

I went to see Urinetown on Friday night - Horrible name *shudder* the musical was entertaining. I haven't laughed that much in a really long time. The best $30 I've spent in a while.

The Broadway musical that takes the piss - in every sense. Its a Privilege to Pee... Urinetown - The Musical is a satirical tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution which both celebrates and spoofs the best of Broadway musical conventions. The show tells the story of a town caught in the midst of a water shortage, in which citizens are forced to use public, pay-per-use urinals or face banishment to Urinetown, a mysterious place where people seem to be lost forever. As the townspeople band together to fight the evil president of the urinal monopoly, two young rebels find love.

I can't believe some people... A mobile phone rings towards the end on Act 1, an adolescent chickie not only answers the phone but jumps up, runs down the stairs of the small theatre and makes a huge noise trying to exit the theatre, to no avail she continues the conversation at the door - this rude action does not go un-noticed by the audience and is "the talk" during intermission (she was also wearing track pants with Ugg boots pulled over the top, a singlet and a bright pink short cardi with some extravagant jewelry - fashion?!?!?)

After the musical I joined the cast and crew for a drink at Bondi Hotel, couple glasses of red and the first time having a drunken so-and-so thrown out of the pub it was one great night out!
