Villanova Theatre presents the musical “Urinetown” with music by Mark Hollmann, book by Greg Kotis and lyrics by Hollman & Kotis. Terry Guerin directs.
In a drought-stricken dystopian city where private toilets are outlawed and the privilege to pee comes with a fee, a corporate tyrant controls the public amenities, squeezing every penny from society’s most basic need. But when a humble custodian at Public Facility #9 decides he’s held it in long enough, he leads a revolution to free the citizens from paying to pee!
This Tony Award-winning satirical sensation delivers a perfect stream of irreverent humor that takes aim at capitalism, social justice, environmental collapse, and musical theater itself. With wickedly clever songs and a hilariously self-aware book, Urinetown merges Brechtian social commentary with Broadway showmanship.
