Urinetown

Final performance for this satirical musical by SPAA students; the story is set in a dystopian future, where a chronic water shortage means that public loos have been extravagantly privatised. The plot hinges on a rebellion led by a cleaner who takes hostage the daughter of the convenience business’s Mr Big to spark a rebellion. The original had an engaging self-referential tone that parodies the genre (“dreams only come true in happy musicals” says one of the characters).
