Urinetown

Program Location: The House. @ 900 Catherine St, Richmond, VA 23220

Performance Venue: Libby S. Gottwald Playhouse @ 600 E Grace St., Richmond, VA 23219

A sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), set in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself. Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.
