Photo Flash: First Look at Riverdale Rising Stars' URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL

The award-winning teens of Riverdale Rising Stars presents the critically-acclaimed URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL, a side-splitting send-up of greed, love, revolution, and musicals in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. URINETOWN opens tomorrow night - Saturday, May 9, 2015, and will be presented for six performances only, through May 17, 2015. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In a dystopian future, a long drought has led to sever water shortage and a government-enforced ban on public toilets. A private corporation now charges admission for one of life's most basic necessities. Amid the chaos, a hero rises to lead a people's revolution so that someday, it will no longer be a privilege to pee.

Featuring music and lyrics by Mark Hollman and book and lyrics by Greg Kotis, the daringly original URINETOWN satirizes the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics as it skewers the conventions of musical comedy

URINETOWN is directed Riverdale Rising Stars Artistic Director Laurie Walton, with choreography by Emily Walton and music direction by Justin Fischer. The design team includes Eric Zoback (Sets), Jenna Lyons (Scenery Painting), Penelope Margeotes (Costumes), David Pentz (Lighting), and Denise Eberly (Sound).
