WT Associate Company Midas Theatre return to Wokingham Theatre with the Tony Award-winning Urinetown: The Musical. In the not-too-distant future, a crippling drought has caused a water shortage so awful that the government has enforced a ban on private toilets. Everyone is forced to use public bathrooms, all under the watch of one giant, evil corporation, profiteering by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs, with transportation to the much-fabled Urinetown as punishment for those who fail to comply. Amid the desperation, an unlikely hero plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

A touching, unnerving, and darkly comic satire on corruption, catastrophe, and musical theatre itself, Urinetown is an "audacious and exhilarating" take on a future that could await us all ...

Urinetown

Wokingham Theatre

Winner of three Tony Awards, Urinetown is a musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, corporate mismanagement, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny.

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 that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

In this side-splitting satire directed by Teddy Bergman (KPOP), a young hero fights to create change in a dystopian world where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer. Set in a city facing a drought, all citizens must now pay a fee for “The Privilege to Pee” at one of the public facilities controlled by a selfish tycoon.

Urinetown is a side-splitting send-up of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.
