• Ever since the success of Urinetown —Tonys for book, score, and John Rando’s direction—the show has become the poster child for the musical that goes from long-shot to long run. Many a theatrical hopeful says, “I’m writing (or doing) a show that’s part of a summer festival—you know, like where Urinetown started.”ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — director — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
