In today's world where hope seems increasingly like a political action, the themes of this play - the misuse of power, populist revolution, the uncertainty of environmental sustainability - seem as necessary today as when the show was created.
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!
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is an hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.
The cast features Rob Albrecht, Dayshawnda Ash, Kyle Burnett, Becca Ciamacco, Kristy Cruz, Barb Dragony, Neely Gevaart, Trey Gilpin, Stephanie Harden, Bernadette Hisey, Frank Ivancic, Daryl Kelley, Kevin Kelly, John J. Polk, Devin Pfeiffer, Jason Salamon, Anna Sylvester, Tim Tavcar, and Rachel Woods.
