Kayden received critical acclaim and notice for her performance in the musical '' Urinetown '' , where she played Little Sally , the pig-tailed girl who helps explain the plot . She played in the 1999 New York International Fringe Festival production , and then was in the original Off-Broadway and Broadway casts in 2001 and returned in 2003 . The '' CurtainUp '' reviewer noted in reviewing the Off-Broadway production : " But while Spencer Kayden does everything right in her portrayal of the droll little girl who alternates begging for ' penny for a pee ' with Shirley Temple/Charlie McCarthy exchanges with the deceptively kindly neighborhood cop , her Sally is wrong . This ' bad ' idea is outrageously good for lots of laughs . The central joke works . " It is from her theater performances that she was discovered by Fox executives and cast as a featured performer on '' MADtv ''
