Urinetown
In this side-splitting satire, the young idealistic hero Bobby Strong leads his community in a fight against oppression. Set in a dystopian not-so-distant future where Bobby meets Hope, where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer, all citizens must now pay a fee for “The Privilege to Pee” at one of the public toilets controlled and monitored by a monopolistic, capitalist tycoon. But the citizens can only hold it in for so long, and soon the poorest and filthiest of these facilities, run by the formidable Penelope Pennywise, becomes the “number one” site for major change. In this Tony-winning musical, nothing is safe from criticism — capitalism, politics, the establishment, the anti-establishment, the anti-anti-establishment, and even musical theatre itself! So be sure to come along and join us on this hard, cold, tumble of journey to find out how it all washes up!
