Urinetown is a satirical musical comedy with music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and a book by Kotis. Set in a dystopian future where a severe water shortage has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets, citizens must pay to use public amenities controlled by the corrupt megacorporation Urine Good Company. The story follows Bobby Strong, a rebellious hero who sparks a revolution after falling for Hope Cladwell, the daughter of the company’s ruthless CEO. Known for its sharp wit, self-aware humor, and clever parodies of traditional musical tropes, Urinetown blends social commentary with an irreverent, meta-theatrical style, delivering biting critiques of corporate greed, government overreach, and environmental disaster.
