In the not-so-distant future, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: the Urine Good Company. If the poor dont obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, theyll be sent to a dreaded and mysterious place outside the city. After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt led by a brave young hero, fighting tooth and nail for the freedom to pee wherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.
A brilliant satire modeled off the plays of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, this musical is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp. Starting with an absurd, exaggerated premise, the show makes us laugh while drawing our attention to some of the most pressing problems in contemporary society. The story uses the medium of theater to examine corporate control, corruption, environmental conservation, and the growing divide between rich and poor.
Written by Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis, the show premiered in 2001 and went on to win three Tony awards including Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score.
