What happens when people are trapped by the system? What happens when the haves have the have-nots in the palm of their hand? What happens when the American Dream becomes a nightmare? What happens when people’s very right to pee is denied? You get Urinetown, the story of hope, revolution, love, urine, and towns. In an absurd future with a crippling water shortage, people’s rights (and bladders) are pushed to the brink. It’s up to Bobby Strong, an innocent young amenity worker, to lead the people in a revolt against the tyrannical Urine Good Company. What they don’t realize, though, is that musicals-and life-don’t always have a happy ending. Music by Mark Hollmann Lyrics by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann Book by Greg Kotis
