I have to second the note by PHD from Durham. The entire cast is so strong, I had to remind myself this was a group of local high school and college kids. I have paid much more for tickets to see shows with this depth of talent. Yes, the main characters were very strong, and the talent of the ensemble matched thier lead. The violinist and live orchestra really enhanced the show! What a treat to have live musicians instead of recorded accompaniment! Collapse

"fabulously fun"

I saw Urinetown twice last weekend and am taking out of town guests to see it Sunday afternoon, so I will have seen it 3 times and know I will enjoy it as much as opening night. The music is fabulous, the satire wonderfully witty, and it was so much fun to try and identify the references to various musicals. I caught several the second time around that I missed the first night. It was so refreshing to see a musical performed locally that had a storyline I was not familiar with. I was stunned at the calibre of the acting, singing and choreography. What a fabulously fun evening for $11! It was my first Livestock play and I promise it won't be my last! Collapse

In this 14th year of the Community Theater of Greensboro's (CTG) production of the wizard of Oz, the cast and crew have put on a terrific show for our community. The main leads (Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, WW of East & Glinda) nail their parts with enthusiasm and panache, as well as their musical solos. It is a very strong ensemble. Perhaps just as amazing are the Munchkins, Monkeys, Poppies, etc which can't be the easiest to direct into a coherent song & dance sequence using 4-5 yr olds and up, but CTG pulls it off, even lifting some material from the Sopranos to do it. Easily our kids favorite part (along with the Lion). For our family, the CTG production of OZ is easily one of the better ideas to spend money on for the family, as it is nearly 3 hours of pure enjoyment -- the wholesome kind not found often enough these days (sadly).

"Vocals"
Comment posted by: STUDENT from Greensboro, Nov 20, 2008
Vocals were great, good acting, good costumes, good everything. The performances I liked the best were Penny and Hope. Others were also good, but these stuck in my mind.

"Musical"
Review posted by: jazzer from Greensboro, Nov 20, 2008
I have never been fond of this music, but I guess the way it was performed in this specific production, it appealed to me. Good job, guys.

Um, I don't agree with "PHD"...I think the ENTIRE ensemble was noticeable and did a GREAT job.

After seeing Urinetown, performed by the Livestock Players of City Arts, I noticed something I don't usually notice in a musical..THE ENSEMBLE! In this specific musical and performance it seemed like every character had importance and presence. There were no "Person #2" roles, if you get my point. Since I love warm fuzzies, I'll give some warm fuzzies to the ensemble of Urinetown. Soupy Sou--Great costume with the spoon accent Poor Emily--Good character choices, and good freezes Hot Blades Harry--I love gore, so your bloody scars impressed me. So did your energy. Little B.2.S.--Good spirit, and you had great coordination for an actor! B.B.B.--Great ensemble choices, strong moves, and "OOOOOOOH!!!!" R.S.F.--strange character name... fishy... but i loved your violin solo Josephine--Good motherly qualities, and very cute comic moments Tiny Tom--Great consistency and inflection choices, cutie Collapse

"MUST-SEE"
Review posted by: H from Greensboro, Nov 19, 2008
As a parent of a theatrically interested child (meaning: I've seen lots of theatre in my lifetime..including the bad) I have to say that this musical went far beyond my expectations!
