Urinetown

Synopsis

The musical

<b>Winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Book, Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann's <i>Urinetown: The Musical </i>is a tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.</b>

After a twenty-year drought made water a scarce commodity, private toilets became outlawed.

Now, all restroom necessaries are controlled by the Urine Good Company (UGC), a megacorporation that charges fees for using public toilets.

Anyone unable to pay fees--or who dares to relieve themselves outside the commode--are arrested and banished to "Urinetown".

When UGC employee Bobby Strong's father falls victim to this tyranny, he spearheads a revolution, inspiring the people to rise up and reclaim their own restroom duties--unaware of the realities and consequences of his actions...

With a preface by David Auburn, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of <i>Proof</i>
