Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis Urinetown is an outrageous musical fable of greed, corruption, love, revolution, and urination, set in a time when water is worth its weight in gold and there's no such thing as a free pee. In this near-future dystopian Gotham, a severe 20-year drought has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. Citizens are forced to use public amenities now, regulated by a single malevolent corporation that profits from one of humanitys most basic needs. But from the ruins of Democracy and courtesy flushes, an unlikely hero floats to the top, who decides he's held it long enough, and he launches a People's Revolution to lead them all to urinary freedom! This 2001 neo musical comedy helped catapult American musical theatre into the new millennium, with its rule-shattering tear through the traditions and conventions of Broadway. New Line produced the show in 2007 to rave reviews.
