One of the most distinctive, intelligent, and jubilant experiences in recent years, Urinetown, the Musical is a winking love letter to the conventions of musical theater—an untempered satire where no one is safe from scrutiny. In a world wracked by ecological disasters, a single malevolent company profits by charging admission fees for one of humanity’s most basic needs. A tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold—complete with a hero named Bobby Strong and a heroine named Hope. Nominated for ten Tony Awards, and winner of the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical, Urinetown has been praised for reinvigorating the notion of what a musical can be, catapulting the comedic romp into the new millennium with its wickedly modern wit and ability to produce unbridled laughter.

Directed by Andrew JM Regiec. Produced by Eileen Mullee. Musical direction by Elisa Rosman. Choreography by Matt Anderson and Catherine Oh. Cast are listed in archives.

All performances are held at the Reston Community Center CenterStage Theatre.

Urinetown, the Musical was produced on Broadway in September, 2001 by the Araca Group and Dodger Theatricals, in association with Theater Dreams, Inc. and Lauren Mitchell. Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
