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, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's most significant art forms.
The citizens must use public amenities regulated by a malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. If the poor don’t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they’re sent to the dreaded “Urinetown.” Come ready to laugh! Amid the people, a brave, young hero decides he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! As with all well-constructed comedies and satire, URINETOWN has a heart and a message. It invites you to look at your actions and question society's actions today but in a non-threatening manner. A brilliant satire modeled off the plays of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, URINETOWN is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp. This great satire leaves no one safe from scrutiny as it surveys society's established norms and foundational institutions. Ages 13+
