Its student newspaper, the Carolinian, declares UNC-Greensboro as the “First University to Produce Urinetown.” Please pause now to reflect on the enormity of that historic moment.
The play is obviously juvenile Marxist claptrap, which is made apparent by the writer, who of course raves about it,
A relentless drought is upon them and the show is divided into classes-The Poor ensemble who reside near the public amenities and in the sewers and The Rich ensemble who spend most of their time in the Skyscraper of the Urine Good Company capitalizing on the bodily functions of the poor- it is literally “all about urination.” …
What became apparent towards the end of the show, was that amongst the one-liners and the hilarity, is that this show has a serious message. The plot suggests that western capitalism is an unsustainable lifestyle. The green undertone is warning that drought and climatic disaster is something that faces the entire world, the Southern States getting a recent taste of what is potentially the long-term future for all of us.
Yeah, keep an eye on “Tropical Update,” Montana, ’cause you’re next. The writer concludes that “This story is not so far from reality; maybe soon we will be without an abundance of fresh water to flush our amenities.” Chirping insane. Really, what are they teaching at this public university, and can I have a refund, please?
