Welcome to Urinetown: The Musical, where a severe drought has made private toilets illegal, and everyone must pay to pee! In this dystopian future, the greedy Urine Good Company, led by Caldwell B. Cladwell, controls the public amenities, enforcing harsh laws with the help of the corrupt Penelope Pennywise. Break the rules, and you’re sent to the dreaded “Urinetown.”
Enter Bobby Strong, a young idealist who rebels after his father is sent to Urinetown for refusing to pay. Inspired by his love for Hope Cladwell, Caldwell’s daughter, Bobby rallies the downtrodden citizens to rise against UGC’s tyranny. As the revolt gains steam, the battle between the oppressed and the corrupt elite heats up, revealing dark and humorous truths about power, corruption, and love.
Packed with catchy songs, witty dialogue, and unforgettable characters, Urinetown is a hilarious and thought-provoking satire that will have you laughing, crying, and questioning the price of privilege. Join us for this Tony Award-winning musical and experience an evening of entertainment like no other. Book your tickets now—because in Urinetown, it’s a privilege to pee!
