'Urinetown, The Musical' 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. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Everyone knows that Rosie O'Donnell is a huge fan of Broadway, but whoever could have expected that, in addition to the commercials that you've been seeing on the air (and on BroadwayWorld.com), promoting the show, that she would have dipped into two famous and popular characters from Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis' URINETOWN, the hit musical from the 2001-2002 Broadway season.
