Looking for a good time? Then you’re in luck when this smart, sardonic and engrossing Tony Award-winning musical comedy returns to Signature.

In Urinetown (the musical) the people can’t pee for free. A severe water shortage means the poor masses must pay exorbitant fees to a corporation to use the toilet or risk being exiled. However, when young Bobby Strong rebels against the corrupt powers-that-be, the entire system goes singing and dancing down the pipes.

A hilarious satire flush with fantastic music, Urinetown skewers and spoofs everything from capitalism to musical comedy itself in an enthralling and absorbing experience.

“a sensational piece of performance art…simply the most gripping and galvanizing theater experience in town.” – The New York Times
