Urinetown is a tale of love, greed, and revolution. The show is set in a town plagued by an unending drought where private bathrooms are outlawed. Everyone must pay the towering taxes and fines to use the public latrines to carry out their most private and basic needs. These are run by a single dominating corporation. Out of the mass of the pitiable, a hero arises --- a latrine manager who leads the people in rebellion with the help of his true love, the daughter of the corporation’s greedy president.
Drawing from Footloose, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret and Les Miserables, among others, the show irreverently pays witty homage to the great American musical theatre tradition.
Urinetown is hilariously funny and touchingly honest.
