New York City
It’s simply the story of two kids who fall in love in a city in the middle of a water shortage… A terrible drought has crippled the Gotham-like town where all the toilets are owned by a corrupt corporation. The citizenry must use public, pay-for-use amenities, a privilege that is expensive, draining and dangerous – this is the setting for Urinetown: The Musical. A tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its very weight in gold.
