Stupid

Nevermind that it won three Tony awards (and ten nominations), three Outer Critic awards, two Lucille Lortels, nine Drama Desk nominations, two Obies, and a sizable handful of other awards, it's title is just too icky for Erie Catholic Bishop Donald W. Trautman.

Trautman put aside all the unimportant issues facing his Church, to issue an edict that, while allowing the show to go on, precludes the kids from telling anyone the name of the show they are promoting is, gasp, Urinetown.

Nice object lesson for these high school kids.

What a moron. (Oh, boy, just wait until he hears about the plan to screen one of Kevin Smith's movies during Senior Week.)
