"Little Sally: "(Say Officer Lockstock, is this where you tell the audience about the water shortage?)" Officer Lockstock: "What's that Little Sally?" LS: "You know, the water shortage. The hard times. The drought. A shortage so awful that private toilets eventually became unthinkable. A premise so absurd that. . ." OL: "Whoa, there Little Sally. Not all at once. They'll hear more about the water shortage in the next scene." LS: "Oh, I guess you don't want to overload them with too much exposition, huh." OL: "Everything in its time, Little Sally. You're too young to understand it now, but nothing can kill a show like too much exposition." LS: "How about bad subject matter?" OL: "Well-" LS: "Or a bad title, even? That could kill a show pretty good." OL: "Well Little Sally, suffice it to say that in Urinetown (the musical) everyone has to use public bathrooms in order to take care of their private business."
