Questions for Brodde:

What role do you play in Urinetown?

Brodde: I play Bobby Strong, the janitor of “Amenity #9” who grows extremely unsatisfied with the limitations the town put on the citizens right to urinal freedom, and decides to do something about it.


What is the general idea of the show?

Brodde: Picture this: it now costs money to go to the bathroom in your hometown! One young man, Bobby Strong, begins a revolution based around the idea that “Peeing should be Freeing!”, and the show is about the journey of a whole town and their ability to rally around a common goal. 


What are you most excited for during the show?

Brodde: I’m most excited to build a sense of camaraderie and family amongst the actors, and explore ourselves not only as cast and crew, but also as friends.


What message do you hope to convey through Bobby Strong?

Brodde: “You’re alive, but are you living?”


If you could play any other character in the show, who would it be?

Brodde: Definitely ‘Hot Blades Harry’. He has the coolest name ever .


Would you recommend coming to see the show?

Brodde: I would definitely recommend seeing the show this year, there are going to be some exciting elements incorporated into the production and the cast and crew are so eager to make it a very fun show!
