Directed by Tony Award winner John Rando, the show features music by Mark Hollman, lyrics by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and a book by Greg Kotis. It debuted at the New York International Fringe Festival, was produced Off-Broadway and then moved to Broadway, opening at the Henry Miller Theatre on September 20, 2001, its planned opening having been postponed after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. It ran on Broadway through January 18, 2004, closing with a total of 25 previews and 965 performances. A national tour began in San Francisco, California on June 13, 2004. A Canadian cast put on one the most highly acclaimed stagings, using the original New York set, in Toronto, Ontario during the summer of 2004. The original cast also included Hunter Foster (as Bobby Strong, later replaced by Tom Cavanagh), Jeff McCarthy, and Ken Jennings. In 2002, the musical won three Tony Awards: for Best Director (John Rando), Best Original Score (Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis), and Best Book of a Musical (Greg Kotis). It was nominated for an additional six others: Best Musical, Best Actor in a Musical (John Cullum), Best Actress in a Musical (Nancy Opel and Jennifer Laura Thompson), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Spencer Kayden), Best Choreography (John Carrafa), and Best Orchestrations (Bruce Coughlin). The show is also meant to be a comedy, featuring corporate satire, gags, and jokes that poke fun at the show itself. Source: [wikipedia: urinetown] |
