Back by Popular Demand!

Walmartopia Comes to the Capitol Theater

After a sold-out run at the Bartell Theater and critical acclaim, Walmartopia is back by popular demand for ONE WEEKEND ONLY at the historic CAPITOL THEATER in the Overture Center for the Arts.

When Vicki, a struggling Wal-Mart employee, speaks out about the company's working conditions, she finds herself jettisoned into 2035, where she encounters a world run entirely by the Wal-Mart empire.

Walmartopia is the smash musical comedy by local playwrights Catherine Capellaro and Andrew Rohn, creators of Temp Slave, the Musical. In response to unprecedented public demand, this special encore performance is being produced by StageQ on March 17-18.

Walmartopia is headed to the Minnesota Fringe Festival in August, and the playwrights are applying to the New York Fringe Festival and the New York Musical Theater festival.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR WALMARTOPIA:

"The one-of-a-kind production combines a serious political message, zany comedy and engaging songs in an entertaining and thought-provoking production." -Wisconsin State Journal

"A wacky and imaginative parody of big-box culture, with catchy song-and-dance numbers and a truckload of enthusiasm from the cast." -Capital Times

"The music rocks the show. The band plays tightly, and the tunes are melodic and memorable." -The Progressive magazine

PERFORMANCES IN OVERTURE CENTER'S CAPITOL THEATRE:

• Friday, March 17, 8:00 p.m.

• Saturday, March 18, 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
