"Paying to pee is like taxing gas, it's useless. It's a perfect example of supply and demand," he explained.
Despite the fact that most actors want to come off as normal and not dramatic, but this play appears to be different.
"It's not a normal musical, you want to be over dramatic," Williams remarked.
Williams said he is excited to play Bobby. Although, when he is not playing Bobby, he plays an old man.
"It can be hectic to learn 2 parts, it's a lot to remember," Williams stated.
"I really like this show, it is a multitude of theatre. Theatre lovers and others [non theatre lovers] will both laugh at the different kinds of jokes throughout the performance. It encompasses all audiences," said Ellen Lichius, who is playing the role of Soupy Sue.
Ryan Collins, cast as Hot Blades Harry, is most excited about this show because it is his biggest role. He even has his own song, 'Snuff that Girl.'
"My character is portrayed after James Cagney, who played most of his roles as a 'tough guy,'" he noted.
Kirsten Heibert, playing Little Becky Two-Shoes, does not attend Robert Morris University, is enjoying her time working as part of the cast.
"I'm having fun acting in a new venue with a different cast. I'm enjoying the change and the new experience," Heibert expressed.
The students will not be preparing "Urinetown" itself for competition. However, they will compete through their roles in "Urinetown" against other students in the region for the mid-Atlantic awards.
The cast and crew are hoping for the weather to cooperate and they invite everyone to come out and enjoy the show.
Tickets will be sold for $10 at the door and Robert Morris students can get them presale for $5 in the student life office.
When asked what the audience should get from the play, Gargaro replied briefly, without giving away any hints.
"Expect the unexpected," he ended.
