Title: THIS Won a Tony?
Product review: You could say I had a "Urinetown" birthday this year. I got both the CD and tickets to see the show at the Henry Miller in NYC. I have seen dozens of shows -- both on and off Broadway -- and this ranks near or at the bottom of the heap, though the performers were quite wonderful. The problem: music was wholly forgettable, in one ear and out the other. Since seeing the show, I have repeatedly played the CD, figuring it would grow on me. It hasn't. Meanwhile, I recently went to see "Thoroughly Modern Millie," which, to my surprise, turned out to be one of the best, biggest musicals I have ever seen. How the Tony Award folks could honor "Urinetown's" book and music over "Millie" is a mystery. My recommendation: Skip this CD and skip the show when it schleps to your city.
