You've never experienced anything like the Tony Award-winning Urinetown. This innovative, zany musical is a wild mix of biting satire and loving parody. A terrible water shortage cripples the sewer system of a Gotham-like town in this wonderfully original dark comedy. In a made attempt to regulate water consumption, the government forces residents to use public, pay-per-use amenities. Anyone refusing to pay for the privelege to pee is immediately hauled off to Urinetown - a mysterious place where people go but never return.
