Description: “Don't let the title scare you off – Urinetown is the wackiest musical satire to hit Broadway in decades” - John Kenrick. “Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny.” (MTI catalog) As in all good satire, challenging and timely questions are raised while entertaining its audience. If you’ve never experienced a musical satire, this is one not to be missed!
