The Set

Once you get past the title, you're in for a show that spoofs the entire musical community.  Urinetown: The Musical offers food for thought with a comedic approach to social issues that this country presently faces and will face in the future.  It has won numerous theatrical awards and critical acclaim and will win you over as well.  To celebrate our theater's march into the future, we bring you a "hot-off-Broadway" musical which, once available to amateurs, has been snatched up by numerous community theaters and colleges for production.

 

  Urinetown is an absurdist, melodramatic musical about a city in the midst of a drought so devastating that a malevolent corporation has been able to take control of all the toilet facilities.  Greed, corruption, and betrayal run rampant as the public desperately seeks relief.

    The show revolves around a city where private bathrooms are outlawed and everyone must pay outrageous fees to use the public facilities.  Those who don't have the money are "relocated" to Urinetown, a mysterious place from which no one returns.  Finally, one facility manager begins a rebellion.  Unfortunately, the manager is in love with the daughter of the greedy corporation's president and that leads to trouble.

  The show debuted at the New York International Fringe Festival, Off-Broadway production later, and then opened on Broadway at the Henry Miller Theatre on September 20, 2001.  It closed after 965 performances and 25 previews on January 18, 2004.
