Urinetown's Hollmann and Kotis New Show -- Eat The Taste

"'Eat the Taste', a new reality-tweaking comedy by Greg Kotis which will get a staging at the Barrow Street Theatre beginning Sept. 20. Opening is Oct. 4 for the show, which will play Mondays only.

The play—like many others currently playing the New York theatre scene—takes the Bush administration as its inspiration. The time is the future and Bush's White House cronies are looking for new work. Among these are "Attorney General Ashcroft who wants to parlay his life story and singing career into an uplifting Broadway musical. The AG sends special agents to New York to convince the creators of Urinetown that they are the right team for his project because they are in-touch with the `hipper' crowd…and because Elton John is not available.

In a bit of self-referential cheekiness, Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann will play themselves."
