Convenience now featuring NO Additional Fees for On-line Ticket Purchases!\nThe craziness all happens in Urinetown\, the marvelous satirical musical presented by Andover High School's Dram a at the Collins Center for the Performing Arts for 4 side-splitting per formances.\nAbout the play:\nUrinetown: The Musical \;is a satirical comedy musical\, with music by Mark Hollmann\, lyrics by Hollmann and G reg Kotis. It satirizes the legal system\, \;capitalism\, social irr esponsibility\, populism\, bureaucracy\, corporate mismanagement\, and m unicipal politics. The show also parodies musicals such as \;The Cra dle Will Rock \;and \;Les Misé\;rables\, and the Broadway musical itself as a form. In reverse pantomime style\, the unconventiona l plotline shatters audience expectations of a somewhat \;pleasant e nding.\nUrinetown \;debuted at the New York International Fringe Fes tival\, and then was produced Off-Broadway at the American Theatre for A ctors\, from May 6\, 2001 to June 25\, 2001. \;The musical then open ed on Broadway at Henry Miller's Theatre\, running from September 20\, 2 001 through January 18\, 2004\, after 25 previews and 965 performances. Unfortunately\, the timing of the September 11th 2001 attacks closed Bro adway entirely over the time of its first opening\, and reluctance of th eatergoers to return to the shows quickly denied this remarkable work it s well deserved acclaim. Broadway itself saw the greatness of this work\ , and \;it was nominated for 10 Tony Awards and won three. \;The acclaim continued as \;the main characters of Bobby Strong and Hope Cladwell were both included on New York Theatre Monthly's list of "The 100 Greatest Roles in Musical Theatre". This is a very funny show\, and not to be missed.\n \;\nAbout AHS Drama\nDrama is an important aspec t of education at Andover High School.
