About

Biting satire and loving parody

New York Post

Smartly absurd

Newsday

In this side-splitting satire directed by Teddy Bergman (KPOP), a young hero played by Jordan Fisher (Hadestown) leads his community in a fight against oppression. Set in a dystopian world where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer, all citizens must now pay a fee for “The Privilege to Pee” at one of the public facilities controlled by a selfish tycoon (Rainn Wilson of The Office) and monitored by authorities. But the citizens can only hold it in so much longer, and soon the poorest, filthiest of these facilities, run by the formidable Penelope Pennywise (Keala Settle of The Greatest Showman), becomes a “number one” site for major change.

With an incisive score by Tony winner Mark Hollmann, hilarious lyrics by Hollman and Tony winner Greg Kotis, and a plot with thrilling twists and turns, Urinetown is an “audacious and exhilarating” (The New York Times) take on the classic story of a ragtag group of underdogs coming together against a corrupt power. In this Tony-winning musical, nothing is safe from criticism — capitalism, politics, the establishment, the anti-establishment, and even musical theater itself!

What if Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann’s Parable is a Prophecy?

by Nina Slowinski

Today, climate change looms over our society as one of the most imminent health threats to humanity. The frightful likelihood that we are closer to living in a Urinetown reality is ever present in my conversation with the brilliant Tony Award-winning writing duo, Mark Hollmann (left, Music & Lyrics) and Greg Kotis (right, Book & Lyrics), about the New York City Center Encores! revival.
