Urinetown: The Musical is a wicked, irreverent satire that tells an earnest tale of love, greed, and revolution — the story of an urban city plagued by a 20-year drought where water has become so scarce that private toilets are unthinkable. Through the determination of destitute masses, a hero among them rises to lead his fellow citizens in rebellion against the tyrannical corporation holding a monopoly over the town's most private and basic needs. Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, Urinetown won three, for Best Book, Best Score, and Best Direction of a Musical. Fifteen years later, it remains uncomfortably topical.
