I did this show in high school! IT'S AMAZING! EVERYONE SHOULD DO IT! TELL YOUR DRAMA TEACHER! because seriously, no one has a sucky part. being a chorus member is just as fun as being a lead! everyone has a lot of stage time. I played the pregnant lady! It was so funny dancing with a huge fake belly! my favorite experience in theatre by far!
I played Hope Cladwell in my school's production of Urinetown :) It made me laugh to see her tied up because I remember being tied to a chair for almost the whole 2nd act. That was fun...

I wish the recording was as good as this! Same people, but it doesn't have the "oomph" it has here. Plus, Hunter doesn't hold the falsetto out like he does at 3:35, and he doesn't make them whisper like he does at 2:40. I LOVE him though!!!
I just saw this at my school XD, personally I like the way my school did it, Bobby took Little Becky Two Shoes' brace and used it to empathize the freedom and she fell lol
I love this song! It's so catchy! I can't seem to get it out of my head. He's great. Little Sally's pretty funny too. I'm gonna be in my school's production this spring. I can't wait!
If you're talking about the C at 3:22 at the climax of that line, I think he handles it just fine... It's the Eb at 3:35 that is kinda wacked out, but it's kinda part of the character :D And the last note is an Ab... still gorgeous though!!
just got confirmation that my school is doing it, soo exited that i am one of the best male singers in my school ao i have a good chance at getting a good part
I have to agree with you. I know from singing Close Every Door from Joseph that with the higher notes that are more difficult for me to hit, I can let the emotion come out and it's more of the character. Just they way it works out sometime. I still don't know what Urinetown is about though. My choir director informed that's it's satire but that's about all I know. Still love this song though!
hey, do you remember if there was a guitar part in your pit? I play guitar in our jazz band and I can sight read and all that stuff and every year I have want to play in the pit but there is never a part! It sounded like there was at some parts here, but you never know...
I did as well! Awesome musical to do! So much fun and hard work, the performances rocked! And you're aboslutely right! I was poor person number 13 or something But it was so fun!
I'm looking for the sheet music of the Broadway recording version that Hunter Foster sang. I have the original score but many or the embellishments are quite different. Does anyone here know where I could find it?
The only time I've been in a show that had to be stopped was earlier this year when i play Kenickie in Grease. It was just after Greased Lightning, people where going crazy and on top of that the smoke machine was on, some dick head outside thought there was a fire, set off the alarm. lmao.
He's such a cutie:-) He kinda petered out on that last high note there, but you know what? He works hard all week and he's hot, so it doesn't matter:-)
It's really the first time I like the dutch version more. The singer i meen. I don't know this guy but I don't really like his voice. But I do most say that the ending was funny!! Look at musical awards urinetown jamai. Have fun :) (PS I don't mean any harm to the fans of hunter cuz I really don't know him).
the dutch version is better i think just because we have a better cop and little girl just watch:P I've been there i was really fantastic:) with Susan Seegers as little girl , Rene van Kooten as cop and Jamai Loman as Bobby Gold
Wow, the parents of Sutton Foster and Hunter Foster must have done something great to their kids to have BOTH of them be Broadway stars....
And why hasn't there been a movie adaptation of this musical yet?
This musical it's complete GENIUS.
I did this show in high school!
IT'S AMAZING! EVERYONE SHOULD DO IT! TELL YOUR DRAMA TEACHER!
because seriously, no one has a sucky part. being a chorus member is just as fun as being a lead! everyone has a lot of stage time. I played the pregnant lady! It was so funny dancing with a huge fake belly!
my favorite experience in theatre by far!
i love how hope is all tied up and still doing the dance moves :D
Both the Fosters have the same sense of humor. It's great!
I played Hope Cladwell in my school's production of Urinetown :) It made me laugh to see her tied up because I remember being tied to a chair for almost the whole 2nd act. That was fun...

I just recently saw Urinetown and freaking loved it. Such a great musical, with tons of Brecht to boot!
I wish the recording was as good as this! Same people, but it doesn't have the "oomph" it has here. Plus, Hunter doesn't hold the falsetto out like he does at 3:35, and he doesn't make them whisper like he does at 2:40. I LOVE him though!!!
Hunter Foster is amazing!!
i could watch this forever. and little sally seems to be the best dancer!
im so mad my high school band this musical cuz of its name... Pisses me off i was gonna b in it!!!
I just saw this at my school XD, personally I like the way my school did it, Bobby took Little Becky Two Shoes' brace and used it to empathize the freedom and she fell lol
i completely and whole-heartedly LOVEE this musical!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this musical... My school did it last year... that was fun... we had a cast of about 50....
it's amazing how much sutton and hunter sound alike
Hunter sounds like he could be a good country singer!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. This and Snuff That Girl are my favorites.
I saw this at Internationl Thespian Festival and it was INCREDIBLY done! If anyone else was there, don't you agree? It was AMAZING!
i love urinetown, and this is my favorite song from the show! spencer kayden is hilarious...
urinetown is funking hilarious
WOW!
That's a voice/ensemble!
you made my life by putting this up. I want to have Hunter Foster's vocal babies.
I love this song! It's so catchy! I can't seem to get it out of my head. He's great. Little Sally's pretty funny too. I'm gonna be in my school's production this spring. I can't wait!
Hunter Foster!! He's amazing!
I saw this play done at Gordon College by our own cast, and surprisingly, it was way better than the Broadway version.
If you're talking about the C at 3:22 at the climax of that line, I think he handles it just fine... It's the Eb at 3:35 that is kinda wacked out, but it's kinda part of the character :D
And the last note is an Ab... still gorgeous though!!
Love it! Urinetown was SUCH a fun show to do!
Best Tony preview show everrr.
we are doing this at my school this year! im so pumped!
i love hunter foster. he's adorable
I love this.
I did this for Broadway Memories this year and it was amazing. :)

I want to see this show so badly!!
That's such a delicious note.
How can you dislike this?

I love this song
I do young actors theatre camp, and we did a production called Frankenfrog. We used this song and changed up the lyrics. We said run froggy run, etc:)
In dance class we dance to this song. Its so fun. :D
just got confirmation that my school is doing it, soo exited that i am one of the best male singers in my school ao i have a good chance at getting a good part
I completely agree. It doesn't get any better than Hunter Foster.
the singer looks like a skinny Jack Black
wasn't that guy seymore in the revival of little shop of horrors??
god i love this show.... :)
@TheSpencer1960 He also played Seymour in the Little Shop revival, where he was equally excellent!
i cant wait till my school puts this show on!
I'm so excited! My high school is preforming Urinetown in 3 weeks! ^_^
haha xD Welcome to urinetown...the musical!
Í've been to the dutch version of this musical and it was AWESOME!!! Especially Jamai Loman!!!
I LOVE THIS NUMBER! ITS AWESOME I danced this in middle school ^^ and Hunter Foster is brilliant in this :D!
I have to agree with you. I know from singing Close Every Door from Joseph that with the higher notes that are more difficult for me to hit, I can let the emotion come out and it's more of the character. Just they way it works out sometime. I still don't know what Urinetown is about though. My choir director informed that's it's satire but that's about all I know. Still love this song though!

His sister is wonderful too!

Hunter Foster is the best !!!!!

Oh my...is that Pennywise, Cladwell, etc. on top of the scaffolding? :P
This is kick ass!!! What year was this?
@david88441 she was a hostage taken by the citizens, AKA Hope AKA Cladwell Daughter.
Definately not the first in Houston, though. I'm at Rice and we're opening the 15th of March.
And, yes, I'm playing Lockstock.
The origional cast!!!! WhaHOOO!
hey, do you remember if there was a guitar part in your pit? I play guitar in our jazz band and I can sight read and all that stuff and every year I have want to play in the pit but there is never a part! It sounded like there was at some parts here, but you never know...

And you're aboslutely right! I was poor person number 13 or something
But it was so fun!
This is awesome.,
Yeah Jamai is very good., I love him! but this is also very good.,--
Is he Sutton Foster's older brother?
Yeah that sounds right to me, like about 15 of each (leads, poor/rebels, Cladwell peeps and Cops)
Muahaha I love Officer Lockstock. He's so cool ^^
I've never seen this show before but does this song make sense?
Run, freedom, run?
@Ninjagrl5432 You get to do SWEENEY freakin TODD?! How can you complain about that? Our school district's too censored.
omg...can't believe it....kl well thanx for replying so quickly=)
The Lyrics are kind of confusing but I really like that guys voice!
I'm looking for the sheet music of the Broadway recording version that Hunter Foster sang. I have the original score but many or the embellishments are quite different. Does anyone here know where I could find it?
@MissAlainey1991 Indeed! They are!
hope in this is jennifer laura thompson??? plz reply i'm desperate!!!!!!!!cause she was in another musical i LOVE!!!!
@IVdeMilo that is the perfect description!
Just for clarification, this guy is Sutton Foster's older brother, right?
Run freedom run...in chairs?
@stephencassista they are called stage parents and they are kinds crazy.
@lifeissweetified yes, yes he was
The only time I've been in a show that had to be stopped was earlier this year when i play Kenickie in Grease. It was just after Greased Lightning, people where going crazy and on top of that the smoke machine was on, some dick head outside thought there was a fire, set off the alarm. lmao.
r u frm i.s 227??
is this a serious musical??? this looks mad!!
He's such a cutie:-) He kinda petered out on that last high note there, but you know what? He works hard all week and he's hot, so it doesn't matter:-)
Yeah there is... A shame really, he hit it perfectly
It's really the first time I like the dutch version more. The singer i meen. I don't know this guy but I don't really like his voice. But I do most say that the ending was funny!!
Look at musical awards urinetown jamai. Have fun :)
(PS I don't mean any harm to the fans of hunter cuz I really don't know him).
the dutch version is better i think just because we have a better cop and little girl just watch:P I've been there i was really fantastic:) with Susan Seegers as little girl , Rene van Kooten as cop and Jamai Loman as Bobby Gold
i didnt know that was suttons brother!
haha I'm Fipp in this musical. Except, a girl version lol. Should be interesting... :P
Huh? I'm confused as to why this got thumbs-down. I just thought it was really funny!
This musical is AWESOME!! haha but I have to say that I think that the Dutch version is a little bit better.. just a little bit
sorry :$
Yepp--they're siblings
Hunter was good in this role..ill give him that...I saw him in The Producers a while back...wasnt impressed.
