Theater: Urinetown
By Graydon Royce, Star Tribune
Opening: Last summer, the Jungle Theater gave the stage over to director John Command for "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." It was a huge hit, and Command was asked back to direct this wonderful oddball of a musical. Bradley Greenwald, featured in "Forum," returns to portray the long arm of the law charged with enforcing the ban on private toilets. All residents of Urinetown must pay for the privilege of using public loos controlled by Urine Good Company. Oh, my aching prostate. Gary Briggle, Patrick Morgan and Tiffany Seymour play principal roles in the Jungle's largest cast ever. (8 p.m. Fri.-Sat. Ends Aug. 11, 2951 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls., $10-$43, 612-822-7063 or jungletheater.com)
