This place is called what?!

When I first learned that the Music and Theater departments at Lewis & Clark were talking about doing a musical I was strangely uninterested. Strange because I was raised on a steady diet of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim. In high school I had big dreams of Tisch's Musical Theater program, but when financial aid fell trough I ended up coming to LC as an International Affairs major instead. Of course when I came to LC I had no idea they didn't "believe" in musicals, but the "purity" of the theater. It seems ridiculous now, but if I had known this I probably wouldn't have come here. Luckily the lack of Sondheim allowed me to be introduced to the great wide world of classical music. For two years I sang Menotti, Ives and Faure and fall so much in love with them that Andrew Lloyd Webber seemed like a distant memory. But now, my old love has come back to haunt me. I have been cast as one of the leading roles in Urinetown. Yes, URINEtown. Talk about purity of theater. I am apprehensively looking forward to a few months of very long rehearsals and a steady stream of obnoxious ear worms....
