Synopsis Part prescient,
part almost fact, part pure fantasy, the premise of Urinetown the
Musical is a severe water shortage in a New York-like city. To
limit water use people are no longer allowed to use private toilets,
but must instead use public pay toilets. The creative team didn't
know at the time that the City would be facing a drought in Spring
2002 so the show is, in fact, quite timely. The firm that owns the
pay toilets in the show, Urine Good Company, is run by a corrupt
boss, Caldwell B Cladwell. Well, time and time again, it's proven
that in NYC that somebody is going to profit handsomely from others
distress. The only problem with the show's premise is that, as all
New Yorkers know, for the past ten years or so it's been nigh near
impossible to get new public pay toilets installed around the City.
That old not-on-my-street-corner ethic runs deep. The shows
quirkiness runs to the songs. It includes such ditties as It's a
Privilege to Pee, followed, not as closely as we would like, by I
See a River |
