Urinetown, the Musical is a delightful, intelligent, clever and uproariously funny celebration of the musical itself. Part parody, part cautionary tale, Urinetown borrows from various musical styles to present the plight of a society in which a sever drought has made water a priceless commodity. The antics which follow are both heart-rending and hilarious. This musiclal received ten Tony Award nominations and has delighted audiences from coast to coast. Now it's our turn to present this musical masterpiece. We know, the title is awful, but don't let that deter you from one of the most enjoyable experiences you will ever have at the theatre!

It's 1950-something and Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl, and Donna, four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana are making their national television singing debut. "Spotlight on Music," a fictitious weekly 1950s television show on th ereal-life Dumont Television Network, sets the framework for an evening of some of the greatest hits of the 1950s. The Taffetas pay tribute to the sounds of the Maguire Sisters, The Fontaine Sisters and The Chordettes. Opening off-broadway two years before "Forever Plaid," The Taffetas made nostalgia what it is today! Spend an hour-and-a-half with The Taffetas and their tree-piece band. Remember what Sunday night television was like on your 12-inch black and white screen!
