About Herman B Wells and Arthur Metz

“As far as I knew no one had ever written such a show (as Urinetown)—for obvious reasons—and the novelty of the thing seemed worth exploring… (and) demanded it be a musical.”– Greg Kotis

Urinetown, the musical
Music & Lyrics by Mark Hollman
Book & Lyrics by Greg Kotis
Directed by Danielle Howard
Choreographed by George Pinney

What is Urinetown? The question runs through Greg Kotis and Mark Hollman’s hilariously pointed Tony Award-winning musical, which manages to be self-deprecating and terrifyingly relevant at the same time. The musical takes place in a future in which water supplies have so dried up that it is truly a “Privilege to Pee,” and all bathrooms are controlled by a large, heartless corporation. The show draws its artistic inspiration from sources as varied as Bertolt Brecht and South Park, melding them into one of the most original musicals of the last decade.

“Exuberant and cheeky. A zesty, fullbodied original.”
New York Times
