off this brilliant piece of contemporary stagecraft with
energy, creativity and boundless enthusiasm... Urinetown thrives in the hands of first-time director Patrick Kramer...
technical support is equally fabulous... a helluva show."

Urinetown - The Musical
Book by Greg Kotis
Lyrics by Greg Kotis & Mark Hollmann
Music by Mark Hollmann
August 10 - September 15, 2007
Nashville Premiere! One of the most
uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is
a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution
in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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 he's had enough
and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom. Its
outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and ability
to produce floods of unbridled laughter are sure to make
Urinetown a BRT classic.
Winner
of three 2002 Tony Awards including
Best Original Score and Best Book for a Musical.
