The average person uses the bathroom six to eight times a day. Now, imagine a world where you had to pay to pee. Urinetown is a satirical comedy that tells a tale of capitalism, environmental crises and populism through the complicated plumbing of toilets. <\/p>\n

The musical takes viewers into a city where private toilets are no longer allowed, and using a restroom is a privilege that needs to be paid for \u2014 unless you wish to take a trip to Urinetown. Since debuting off-Broadway in 2001, the musical has been performed 965 times and has won three Tony Awards, along with a slew of other honors. <\/p>\n

Staged by Kissimmee\u2019s Osceola Arts at the Dr. Phil, Urinetown is an engrossing example of how satire provides insight into real-world problems \u2014 but don\u2019t worry, restrooms will be available all evening at no extra cost. Parking, on the other hand \u2026. <\/p>\n

Various times Friday-Sunday, July 10-12, Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org<\/a>, $59-$65.<\/p>\n
