ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
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 denizens of Urinetown must use public facilities regulated by a single evil company that profits by charging for one of humanity’s most basic needs – the privilege to pee!
Amidst all of this, a hero emerges, determined to lead a revolution for freedom! The Tony Award-winning 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!
URINETOWN was produced on Broadway in September 2001 by the Araca Group and Dodger Theatricals in association with TheaterDreams, Inc., and Lauren Mitchell
