Urinetown
By Hollman and Kotis
Directed by Royal Brantley

Don’t let the title fool you, this is one of the best contemporary musicals around. In the words of the Sun-Examiner-Record-Times Critic, Jay P. Bowel: “Urinetown, The Musical makes a splash! What a relief to view such a wonderful show! The social satire is piled deep and the parodies and sight gags keep running on and on. Drop what you’re doing! You have to go and see this ingenious musical...!"
