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!
Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself!
While Urinetown is fairly ‘clean’ when it comes to profanity and innuendo (there really isn’t any), the show is a ‘dark comedy’ that has a bit of toilet humor, thought it isn’t as much about bodily functions as it is about power and exploitation, and the piece deals very directly with themes of class divide, police brutality, death, violence, and loss of environment due to mismanagement of resources.
