Urinetown - 2014 West End History , Info & More
The ripples of revolution are now reaching the shores of the West End! URINETOWN, the satirical musical comedy that was a sold out splash hit at the St James Theatre arrives in London's West End at the beautifully refurbished Apollo Theatre. Award-winner, Jamie Lloyd (Richard III, The Commitments) directs this sharp-witted rampant riot of a show that tells the tale of a town fit to burst; spending a penny can prove problematic in a place where the privilege to pee has become a punishable offence. There is no such thing as rent free relief until our young hero, Bobby Strong, appears- with more than a good set of pipes- and starts a revolution!

Chances are if you're alive in 2023, you've been to Urinetown... the place not the musical. That's because despite being a hit back in 2001, the near apocalyptic state that URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL hilariously captures is somehow more relatable than ever: greedy corporate CEO's, environmental disasters, progressives with grand platitudes...
To start the new year we have the two-time Tony award-winning writer Greg Kotis over on the show! He chats about his creative process with new shows, both plays and musicals, how he approaches character creation, and his award-winning musical Urinetown.
