"Urinetown"

Book by Greg Kotis
Lyrics by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann

Video: Recycling Art Project With Lisa Arnold

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 public 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 decided 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.
