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 are revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire ni which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what amusical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new milennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
