Urinetown
The Tony-award winning musical Urinetown is transferring to the Apollo Theatre after a hugely successful run at the St James Theatre. It tells the story of a dystopian city damaged by a 20 year drought, where water is so precious that the Government has gone to extreme measures to preserve it. They’ve put a ban on private toilets and all citizens must use the expensive pay-per-use public ones. If anyone is found secretly relieving themselves for free they are shipped off to the terrifying Urinetown – and nobody ever comes back. Citizens quiver under the tyrannical Penelope Pennywise and her assistant Bobby Strong, who rule over the poorest and dirtiest urinal in town, Amenity #9. But a protest movement is forming amongst the city’s poorest dwellers. They will go to any lengths to fight Penelope Pennywise, stop the price hike and set their loos free from the regime’s evil grip.
