URINETOWN, THE MUSICAL presented by Cascade Theatrical Company

One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN THE MUSICAL is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, URINETOWN THE MUSICAL is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny
