One of the most
uproariously funny musicals of all time, 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 private toilets.  Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, 
and plans a revolution
to lead them all to freedom!
