Director's Note:
We are interested in actors of all physical types. All cast members must strong dancers, strong singers, and honest comedic actors. As a result, the cast will be smaller. The original Broadway cast was 16. Urinetown will have a cast of 16-26. This is a fun show, but it is very challenging. Although age suggestions are provided, we will cast the best person for the role regardless of age. Understudy assignments are not guaranteed. Final decisions on understudy assignment will be determined by vocal range.
