Welcome to Urinetown!
A hilarious, satirical, and wildly entertaining musical that turns a world of water shortages into a riotous rebellion! With catchy tunes, sharp wit, and an unforgettable story, Urinetown takes you on a journey where the fight for free peeing becomes a fight for freedom itself.
Theo brings its rich history of Kurt Weill revues to this long-form musical inspired by the work of Weill and Bertolt Brecht. In a dystopian-like city, a water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets forcing the citizens to pay to use public amenities. With gusto, and show-stopping numbers, a hero and his ragtag friends rise from the sewage to spark the revolution!
Written by Chicago’s own Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, don’t miss this Tony Award-winning hit where nothing is safe from witty criticism — capitalism, politics, the establishment, the anti-establishment, and even musical theatre itself!
