Urinetown: The Musical is a satirical musical comedy from 2001 that
pokes fun at municipal politics, bureaucracy, social irresponsibility and
corporate mismanagement. It also
mocks beloved musicals like Les Miserables, The Cradle Will Rock, and
even the Broadway musical itself. From
the MTI website: “One of
the most uproariously
funny musicals in recent
years, URINETOWN is
a hilarious tale of greed, corruption,
love, and revolution in a time when
water is worth its weight in gold. 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 he’s had enough,
and plans a revolution to lead them all
to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertolt
Brecht and Kurt Weill, URINETOWN
is an irreverently humorous satire
in which no one is safe from scrutiny.
Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, URINETOWN catapults the “comedic
romp” into the new millennium with its
outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce
gales of unbridled laughter.”
