Urinetown, the Musical
3451 Camino De Los Coches, Carlsbad
Cost: $15 - $25
A terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a dystopian government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities that are regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Any other method of seeking relief is punishable by exile to Urinetown, a mysterious place from which no one returns. Young firebrand Bobby Strong (Justin Lee) inspires a gang of the bladder-oppressed to kidnap Hope Cladwell (Mary Potter), daughter of evil tycoon Caldwell B. Cladwell (Ryder Dellinger). Bobby and Hope fall in love, of course, even as the anarchic revolution continues onward, unrelenting.
