Urinetown 11/3

In all seriousness, URINETOWN is pretty much your typical musical. Boy meets girl, who happens to be big baddie’s daughter, they fall in love, lead revolution against evil oppressors and live happily ever after… oh wait. Wrong show.

URINETOWN takes place in a time of desperation and desolation. A massive water shortage (caused by a twenty year drought) means that private toilets have been outlawed and the public now have to pay “for the privilege to pee”. These public amenities, as they’re known, are run by the evil Urine Good Company (or UGC) headed up by the villainous Caldwell B. Cladwell. If citizens relieve themselves in public or refuse to pay the fee, they’re sent to the infamous Urinetown.
