A side splitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is
worth its weight in gold.
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and
two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social
irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural
resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and
touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art
forms.
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 that he's had enough and plans a revolution to
lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous
satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a
musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its
outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of
unbridled laughter.
URINETOWN was produced on Broadway in September, 2001 by the Araca
Group and Dodger Theatricals in association with TheaterDreams, Inc., and Lauren Mitchell
