Urinetown is the anti-Les Miserables, and the people arise with surprsing results. I laughed so hard in NYC tears rolled down my cheeks, and because I couldn't quite explain it to Mrs. J. I took her to see it in SF, and she loved it as well. My daughter's high school is putting on a production and I can't wait to see it again.
