Pat Mitchell, you are an uninformed prude. "Urinetown" was a great musical with a terrific cast of all students. The plot of the production was similar to the French and Russian revolutions, and the choreography and music were top notch. This play has had rave national reviews. The UNCG production was professionally done by the director, actors and production crews, who deserve kudos for putting together such an entertaining evening.

The topic was a worldwide water shortage, which greatly limited flushing. The poor people in the setting were required to pay ever-increasing fees for the use of the public facilities, thus setting off an uprising against a tyrannical, money-grabbing Boss Tweed-like ogre. Interspersed in this was romance and patriotism and good humor.

It was a terrific musical and UNCG should be congratulated for providing it. You obviously did not see the production and are speaking from a far-right pulpit; but as Toulouse-Lautrec once said, "I'll thank you to not look at my paintings with your dirty mind." We are bombarded with sex on TV, movies and theater and think nothing of it. "Urinetown" was just a new twist on what we already accept.
