Urinetown Musical Analysis

Urinetown is the fall musical that our school magnificently performed. It centers about this town in which people have to pay to pee and a love story about two young adults trying to change the way of the town. The musical premiered in 2001 with the music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Kotis. What interested me was that the musical mocks capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism,and the whole idea of going against the corrupt government. Also, the concept of going to the bathroom is not free is unique to me. Plus the name Urinetown is quite amusing. Few of my classmates were in the play and they were exceptionally amazing. My friend who played the character Little Becky Two Shoes had my breath taken away.
