The Yale Dramat is inviting Pathways to Arts & Humanities students to watch their 8:00 PM performance of Urinetown: The Musical with a behind-the-scenes tour of the theater and pizza with the show’s team beforehand! Urinetown: The Musical is a side-splitting satire in which a young hero leads his community in a fight against oppression. Set in a dystopian world where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer, all citizens must now pay a fee for “The Privilege to Pee” at one of the public facilities controlled by a selfish tycoon and monitored by authorities. But the citizens can only hold it in so much longer, and soon the poorest, filthiest of these facilities, run by the formidable Penelope Pennywise, becomes a “number one” site for major change. In this Tony-winning musical, nothing is safe from criticism — capitalism, politics, the establishment, the anti-establishment, and even musical theater itself! Because this is a ticketed event, we ask that you please only register if you are 100% committed to attending.
