Enjoy an Exclusive interview with Alex Belfield and Nancy recorded on Broadway:
Alex went to meet Nancy at Urinetown.
So the question everyone is asking is ‘What is Urinetown’? Well it’s not a village in the North, it’s a brand new West End Musical by Greg Kotis.
The original idea for URINETOWN was born after Greg encountered a pay-per-use toilet whilst travelling in Europe. He began writing the award-winning Book shortly after, joining with Mark Hollmann, composer and lyricist. URINETOWN was nominated for 10 Tony awards, winning for best book, score and direction.
Recorded by Alex Belfield for Celebrity Radio & BBC on Broadway 2009
