Winner of three Tony Awards and multiple other honors, _Urinetown_ is
a sharp, hilarious MUSICAL SATIRE THAT SKEWERS CAPITALISM,
bureaucracy, social irresponsibility, and even MUSICAL THEATRE
ITSELF.In a Gotham-like city, a 20-year drought has led to a
government ban on private toilets, forcing citizens to use public
facilities controlled by a greedy corporation. When one hero decides
he has had enough, he sparks a revolution to reclaim basic human
freedom.
Inspired by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, _Urinetown_ combines biting
social commentary with laugh-out-loud humor. Praised for redefining
what a musical can be, it delivers wickedly modern wit, outrageous
twists, and moments of surprising heart, making audiences rethink the
world and the theatre around them.
