one of my favorite things about urinetown is how so much of it is just literal nonsense
"There's a heart in the sky, there just is don't ask why"
"But daddy, bunnies don't drive cars" "Don't they?"
"It's a banner so wide flying proudly with pride"
"This riot's our child - This child is on fire"
"A pickle in the brine"
"I've lost my sense of sight - And yet I see them"
"look into the faces of our fellow man and see not only a brother but a sister as well"
"whenever they liked, as much as they liked, for as long as they liked, with whomever they liked"
"the glass of water is inside of you! it always has been"

my favorite random things about our production of urinetown !!! (100% remake from sillysally13)
we use THE WHOLE THEATER. even the house.
penny (me) has an entire "defying gravity" moment when she shrills her C6 and I FUCKIN LOVE IT
hope + bobby titanic moment during "follow your heart"
mcqueen's THE BUNNY DURING DONT BE THE BUNNY
the rich politely shake ass.
ACT 1 FINALE TURNTABLE AND TUG OF WAR
lockstock & penny are the shortest in the cast (short but super badass)
ALL RICH WOMEN !!! CLADWELL, BARREL, LOCKSTOCK, MCQUEEN
majority of the cast is women. there's only 3 guys (fipp/old man strong, hot blades harry, and bobby ofc)
old ma strong does a cartwheel.
that’s all for now :P

//urinetown spoilers
something really really cool about the urinetown score is it's use of the dies irae to foreshadow that urinetown is death. after the overture, the very first line we hear someone sing IS THE FIRST FOUR NOTES OF THE DIES IRAE (better hope your pennies)!! And it's repeated multiple times throughout the number!!!
SO THE FIRST SONG (CALLED URINETOWN) IN THE SHOW (URINETOWN) USES PART OF THE DIES IRAE!! WHICH REPRESENTS DEATH!! AND DEATH IS URINETOWN!!!! THE ENTIRE SHOW IS SPOILED IN THE FIRST NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!
also it's really cool how they use that motif throughout the show, especially during why did i listen to that man (now we've finally got you, now you're in our claws, captured in our city of laws) when they're about to kill bobby. SO DEATH APPEARS WHILE THEY ARE ACTIVELY SENDING SOMEONE TO URINETOWN!!!

i miss urinetown so here are some little sally character notes i made while i was little sally so i can cope
- she really likes flowers
- like she can look at a flower and immediately name it
- “oh thats a diphylleia grayi” “a what”
- due to the water shortage though there isn’t a lot of greenery
- so she usually just draws flowers everywhere any chance she gets
- “give me your arm real quick :3” she says holding a pen having only malice intent behind those big eyes of hers
- she also reads a lot
- not because she likes it but because lockstock just gives her a bunch of books and she has nothing better to do
- i like to think that on like christmas or smth the poor give her like really run down beaten up toys that could give the average child nightmares
- while lockstock just walks up with a bag of books
- not even childrens book but like whole ass college textbooks
- “idk what kid read these days but i like this”
- little sally is too nice to say anything about it
- this is why she knows what metaphysical means
- mcqueen…. (red angry face with fist up)
- i don’t even know what mcqueen could have done to her she just really hates him
- maybe that one time he didn’t give her a coin really fucked her up
- “one time” it was probably multiple times
- mcqueen probably called her a slur too, before like spitting on her idk
- she’s actually pretty prone to violence
- like she would definitely beat someone up if they wronged her
- the only reason she was so against killing hope is one, in her eyes hope didn’t do anything wrong and two, bobby lovesssss her
- she looks up to bobby a lot
- this is mostly because bobbys like the only character that isn’t completely stupid
- thats not true penny has a bunch of braincells in there
- but penny is scary
- omg theres also her lore with lockstock
- infodumping lockstock and sally’s entire lore
- little sally had pretty neglectful parents
- she was an accident baby and her parents were really suffering from the water shortage so they paid no attention to her
- lockstock met little sally when she was around six and lockstock was still pretty new to his job
- little sally has a big mouth and so one day while talking to lockstock she just casually brings up the fact that her parents piss on the pavement daily
- lockstock of course took action to it and took her parents to urinetown
- BUT but since lockstock was so new to the job he hadn’t fully realized what urinetown was until he was in the middle of bringing sallys parents to urinetown
- so now lockstock feels guilt for killing sally’s parents which is why he acts like such a parent to her
- and also why sally feels pretty safe during the whole rebellion
- i think post tell her i love her little sally joined the rebellion half because she believed in it and also half because she knew that lockstock wouldn’t hurt her
- bro is manipulative
- it wasn’t until she saw bobby literally be thrown off a building where she became scared of lockstock
- it was there when she decided to cut all ties with lockstock
- “oh but don’t they meet up at the end” LET ME TELL YOU
- so you know how after hope is like “yes go pee for free my pookies” the water becomes bad and everyone dies
- because little sally isn’t with lockstock anymore she isn’t protected by the narrative
- SO SHE DIES TOO
- LITTLE SALLY IS DEAD
- so the whole conversation lockstock had with little sally was all a hallucination in lockstocks head
- i guess for lockstock to cope with basically losing the person he considered his daughter
- whoops this turned sad
- little sally braids bits of her hair out of boredom
