November 12th- 21st
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a wildly irreverent musical comedy that takes aim at capitalism, bureaucracy, politics, environmental crisis—and even musical theatre itself.
In a Gotham-like city devastated by a 20-year drought, private toilets have been outlawed. Citizens must use public facilities controlled by a powerful corporation that charges admission for the most basic of human necessities. But when one unlikely hero decides he’s had enough, a revolution is brewing—and the people are ready to take back their right to pee for free.
Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is equal parts outrageous comedy, sharp social satire, and surprisingly heartfelt story. With its unforgettable characters, wickedly clever score, and fearless sense of humor, the show turns the conventions of musical theatre upside down while asking some very real questions about power, greed, government, and what happens when a society decides that some things are simply too important to put a price on.
Hilarious, irreverent, and unexpectedly touching, Urinetown is a musical unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Zeitgeist’s 2026 Theater Season is here to enlighten and uplift—to offer inspiration and conversation. These playwrights and these four shows give us a chance to look inward and connect with ourselves, maybe a little more than we’re used to. This season is meant to teach us about something bigger; it’s meant to show us more about our shared humanity and possibly offer a way to find honesty, truth, and (yes, I’ll say it) love. We are so glad you’re here. Everyone is welcome.
In the words of the great Stella Adler, “Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one.” Thank you for showing up and supporting the theater that happens at Zeitgeist. When you show up, we will too.
