So I saw Dalhousie Theatre's production of "Urinetown" today...it was absolutly WONDERFUL.

I'm just confused because reading the OBC...there's a MISTER McQueen. And "Soupy Sue / Cladwell's Secretary"

In the show I saw, MIZZ McQueen was Caldwell's Secretary.

And all I can think to say is...."say WHAT?!"

Hmm, I saw the Foothill College Production and it was Mr McQueen as well. I never saw the Broadway version, so I didn't know there was a difference.

Loved the Foothill version!

I can top that. I saw a kids' version where Mr. McQueen in one cast was twin boys, and the other cast they were twin girls.

They were referred to as "The McQueens."

(They were not real twins, of course.)

haha- That sounds...abnormal. I saw one at a local university and it was a Mr. as well.

It didn't even occur to me that McQueen could be a gentleman. It just worked so perfectly!

In the original cast, Mr. McQueen bore a striking resemblance to Rudy Gulianni, down to the speech impediment.
