The people have accepted this handling in fear of existence sent to the terrible place of "Urinetown."

Will justice trump inequality?

It pokes fun at the flaws in capitalism, abuse and sustainability, all of which brand headlines every twenty-four hour period. My favorite part of Urinetown process has been breaking into laughter on phase every time someone finds a new bit. The show allows u.s. to have a lot of fun.
