Urinetown, The Musical

Feb. 23-26
Stewart Theatre

Music and Lyrics by MARK HOLLMANN
Book and Lyrics by GREG KOTIS
Directed by DANICA JACKSON
Musical Direction by MARK L. HOPPER
Choreography by JESS BARBOUR
Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

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!

This Meta-Theatre piece pokes fun at capitalism, populism, bureaucracy and musical theatre itself! This show boasts plenty of opportunities for physical comedy, dance, and dark comedy.

URINETOWN, THE MUSICAL is a Producing Series production.
