Hilariously funny and touchingly honest\, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms. 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.

Amid the people\, a hero decides that 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" is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be\, "Urinetown" catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective\, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.\n\n\n\nThe musical "Urinetown" is rated PG-13\, with parental guidance suggested for ages 13 and below due to some humorous adult innuendos and mild profanity.\n\n\n\n"Urinetown" is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. www.mtishows.com\n\n\n\nThe UB Theatre and Dance 2025-2026 season is sponsored in part by Fox Run at Orchard Park\, celebrating its seventh year in support of the department.
