Take a Tony Award-winning musical with an unpleasant title. Add a storyline built around a town with such a serious water shortage that people have to pay to use public toilets. Mix it with a tuneful and irreverent score that gives a nod to musicals from Broadway to Brecht and Weill.
And you have
Urinetown,
The Musical
, the unique, impudent, satirical and ultimately very funny musical.
