REVIEWS
“you’ll just laugh and laugh and laugh…. one of the best productions in Firehall history… Should be Number One on your ‘must see’ list. You just gotta go.” – Jo Ledingham, (of the Vancouver Courier)
“this satire set to music is sharp, funny and maybe even a tiny bit prophetic.” Vancouver Presents
“It’s a marvel to see this Broadway-scale musical performed on such a small stage… smart, sassy, and slightly off-kilter… a fine satire on the state of the water wars.” – Vancitybuzz
“Urinetown is fantastic–go see it!” – Beyond YVR
“Urinetown’s memorable songs, impressive dance numbers, and award-winning score will delight musical lovers, while its ironic humor and send-up of musical conventions will appeal to people who may not be fond of the form.” – PRISM Magazine
“I won’t be surprised if it will again win awards in the upcoming Jessies. It was superbly directed by Donna Spencer who also plays Ma Strong; the choreography by Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg was flawless; the set design by Ted Roberts was exceptional; and Barbara Clayden’s costumes were to the T.” Reviewvancouver.org
“a hilarious satirical show that adults love, even though they are eons past their preschool bathroom-humour phase… electrifying… I loved everything about this show but as a dance addict, I have to give top billing to Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg’s stand-out choreography. Triple Wow!” Review From the House
“Urinetown is a satirical gem that pokes fun at politics, climate change, and (in the meta spirit) musical theatre.” – Lotusland Magazine
Urinetown runs til November 29. Click here for more info.
