As a result of this water shortage, the government chooses to ban all private toilets. The head of the Urine Good Company, the ruthless Mr. Caldwell B. Cladwell, works the political system to monetize all amenities in town, making the simple act of relieving oneself incredibly expensive. (\u201cIt\u2019s a Privilege to Pee\u201d goes one song.) If anyone is caught peeing without paying, they are hauled off to the mysterious Urinetown, never to be seen again. But <em>Urinetown<\/em> is so much more than just a social justice tale \u2014 it\u2019s also a story of star-crossed lovers. Hope, the naive and idealistic daughter of the iron-fisted Mr. Cladwell, falls in love with young Bobby Strong, an assistant manager of Public Amenity 9 whose own father is exiled to Urinetown after he can\u2019t pay the price of the public lavatory his own son helps to manage. Hope and Bobby\u2019s love incites a dangerous rebellion, and they pay a hefty price to end the oppressive Caldwell regime.<\/p>\n<p>After a short but idyllic walk through the woods to the Bowie Playhouse, my partner and I took our seats among the bustling opening night crowd. Even in the dim light of the preshow, Gene Valendo\u2019s set truly captured the look and feel of a grungy subway bathroom. It stood in stark contrast to the polished Cladwell office, ushered in and out of the space by Ms. McQueen (Cladwell\u2019s long-suffering assistant, played beautifully by Crista Drysdale). The scenic design as a whole gave the cast a wide range of elevations to play with, no doubt helping Director Davis Wootton-Klebanoff create some truly wonderful stage pictures throughout the production. The overall aesthetic is completed by Mary Wakefield\u2019s costumes \u2014 appropriately filthy for the citizens of Urinetown and, for Cladwell and his cronies, eerily similar to the fashion of Wall Street in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Music Director Jennifer Butler does a fabulous job of coaxing the very best out of this talented cast. I was quite honestly floored by the vocal abilities of the entire ensemble, completing tricky harmonies with ease. The fact that the performers were not mic\u2019d was truly astounding \u2014 their voices were strong, clear, and perfectly audible over the sound of the pit. Wootton-Klebanoff\u2019s direction is also to be commended. He has assembled a true ensemble of performers with picture-perfect comedic timing who understand how to properly milk a good lazzi. From Wendell Holland\u2019s Mufasa-esque \u201cRemember me!\u201d to Natolya Barber\u2019s <em>Les Mis<\/em> moment waving her mop above the ramparts to McKinley Seale\u2019s hop anytime that anyone on stage says \u201chope,\u201d Wootton-Klebanoff\u2019s direction keeps the audience laughing on their toes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_350111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-350111\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-350111\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Urinetown-1000x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Urinetown-1000x800-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Urinetown-1000x800-1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Urinetown-1000x800-1-460x368.jpg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Urinetown-1000x800-1-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-350111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TOP LEFT: McKinley Seale (as Hope Caldwell) and Sterling Kee (as Bobby Strong);\u00a0 TOP RIGHT: Wendell Holland (as Joseph \u2018Old Man\u2019 Strong) and the Company; ABOVE LEFT: Neva Keuroglian Sullivan\u00a0(as Penelope Pennywise); ABOVE RIGHT: the Company, in \u2018Urinetown.\u2019 Photos by Nate Jackson Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I would be remiss not to mention some of the most striking performances from this production. I\u2019m still thinking about the \u201cCop Song.\u201d With poignant flashlight choreography by Summer Moore, this song took on a darker aesthetic than I was expecting, leaning into the many moments within the show that truly embraced the social justice message of the production (later emphasized by the rebel posters in Act II).<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Power\u2019s Officer Lockstock served as the perfect narrator alongside Barber\u2019s Little Sally. With fourth-wall-breaking aplomb, these two were a match made in heaven (or Urinetown). Their camaraderie was palpable, helping us to better understand why the plucky Little Sally would have befriended someone like Lockstock in the first place. Not to mention, Power holds a power note in this production that is sure to thrill.<\/p>\n<p>Sterling Kee\u2019s Bobby Strong is sweet as honey, and he takes the whole place to church with his stirring rendition of \u201cRun, Freedom, Run.\u201d He is a calm counter to Seale\u2019s bubbly and (seemingly) innocent Hope. Their chemistry is adorable, akin to watching two golden retriever puppies playing outside for the first time. Seale\u2019s tinkling soprano melds wonderfully with Kee\u2019s resonant tenor and is only matched by their comedic timing with each other.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_350113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-350113\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-350113\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/d_36di78_a_2edUd018svc1qcf1qoxryioz_r2jc5l.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/d_36di78_a_2edUd018svc1qcf1qoxryioz_r2jc5l.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/d_36di78_a_2edUd018svc1qcf1qoxryioz_r2jc5l-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/d_36di78_a_2edUd018svc1qcf1qoxryioz_r2jc5l-460x178.jpg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/d_36di78_a_2edUd018svc1qcf1qoxryioz_r2jc5l-768x298.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-350113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Company of \u2018Urinetown.\u2019 Photo by Nate Jackson Photography.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Neva Keuroglian Sullivan\u2019s Penelope Pennywise is also to be commended. With a ridiculously powerful belt, she takes over the stage with her indomitable presence. Trevor Greenfield\u2019s Senator Fipp is achingly familiar to all residing so close to DC, and Robert Howard\u2019s scene-stealing Officer Barrel is a barrel of contradictions in the best ways possible. Keith Rafferty\u2019s Mr. Caldwell B. Cladwell provides a menacing presence, showing no remorse for his actions, even as he makes his own defiant way to Urinetown. The entire ensemble excels throughout, and that includes the stagehands who get to perform one of the best bits in the entire show (not to mention a particularly lethal moment of foley artistry that made the whole audience gasp as one on Opening Night).<\/p>\n<p>2nd Star Productions\u2019 <em>Urinetown<\/em> is the perfect example of the wealth of talent in the DMV theater community.
