Move over, "Cats," watch out, "West Side Story." A different kind of musical is taking over. IU Department of Theatre and Drama's "Urinetown: The Musical" opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Wells-Metz Theatre. Based on the premise that "it's a privilege to pee," this production strays from the warmth and slight corniness found in traditional musicals.
