I think this may be worthy of its own thread.

Playbill.com has some details about the Urinetown prequel/companion piece, YEAST NATION, which is set at the dawn of time, amid a community of yeast cells:

"The ensemble-oriented Yeast Nation is about a kingdom of one-celled yeast blobs (all of them named Jan — pronounced "yon") and how they reach for a new food source in the process of evolution. Within the community is a pair of daffy lovers, a leader, a villain, and more.

Nancy Opel played Jan the Unnamed, Chuck Cooper was Jan the Elder, Hunter Foster was Jan the Second, Tom Hewitt was Jan the Wise, Christiane Noll was Jan the Sweet, Leslie Kritzer was Jan the Sly, Sheri Sanders was Jan the Famished, Rick Crom was Jan the Wretched/Jan the Youngest, Robyn Kramer was The New One, and ensemble roles were played by Ann Arvia, Janet Dacal, Todd Horman, Hoon Lee, Kristie Dale Sanders and Christopher Youngsman."

Definitely worthy of its own thread... if only I had something to add to it. Any more information?

Nancy and Hunter... wow!
