Our play selection committe is currently in the process of making recommendations for the 2011 season.They have been charged to come up with a season that will produce strong sales. A new concept.A feeble attempt at humor.Has anyone had experience in producing the musical "Urinetown?"We understand its a great show,but are concerned if it it will appeal  to our season ticket base which is made up largely of older audience members.Comments?

I'm a theater guy, and I have been for a lot of years.  I am, therefore, a "largely older audience member". 

For what it's worth, I hated "Urinetown".  I could see why it was popular with the younger set, and I could appreciate aspects of the show that were, in and of themselves, technically or artistically impressive.  But the overall experience was negative, negative, negative.  (And I hated the ending!)

On the other hand, I really liked "The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)" and highly recommend it.  I also think "Gutenberg! The Musical!" is tremendous fun.  (But it is a very, very small production.  It makes "The Fantasticks" look like a large cast show.)
