Urinetown, the Musical is a delightful, intelligent, clever and uproariously funny celebration of the musical itself. Part parody, part cautionary tale, Urinetown borrows from various musical styles to present the plight of a society in which a sever drought has made water a priceless commodity. The antics which follow are both heart-rending and hilarious. This musiclal received ten Tony Award nominations and has delighted audiences from coast to coast.
