Don’t miss this satirical comedy that won Tony awards for its book and score. A thoughtful look at human rights, environmentalism, and the excesses of unfettered capitalism powered by incredible music and riotous jokes.

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 is a satirical musical that not only won Tony awards for its book and score but also features incredible music that perfectly complements its comedic themes. The music is a unique blend of genres, from Broadway, jazz, gospel, to rock, creating an atmosphere of irreverent humor and satirical commentary on society. The show’s score, composed by Mark Hollmann and directed by Derrick Lacasse (MAC’s A Broadway Christmas, Freaky Friday), is full of riotous and catchy tunes that brilliantly convey the absurdity and dark humor of the story. The opening number, “Too Much Exposition,” is a witty and ironic commentary on the traditional exposition-heavy openings of musicals, while the rousing “Run, Freedom, Run!” is a joyous anthem of rebellion that is both inspiring and hilarious.
