Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown is an earnest tale of love, greed and revolution. The show is set in a town plagued by a 20-year drought, where water has become so scarce that private toilets have become unthinkable. At the mercy of a single dominating corporation that maintains a monopoly on the town's public amenities, the destitute citizens must pay towering taxes and fines to carry out their most private and basic of needs. Out of the mass of the pitiable, a hero rises to lead his fellow citizens against the tyrannical regime.
Drawing from West Side Story, Chicago and Les Misérables among others, the show irreverently pays witty homage to the great American musical theater tradition.
Congratulations to the cast, crew and production staff!
