Welcome to Urinetown! Langley High School’s Saxon Stage presents Urinetown, a hilarious musical about human rights, romance, revolutions…and toilets. Urinetown most notably won the  Best Book and Best Score at the 2002 Tony Awards and is a musical comedy fit to make all audiences laugh, from Saxon Stage to Broadway.

In Urinetown (…the musical, of course) citizens must pay a fee to go to the bathroom at designated public amenities, controlled by an all-powerful corporation and its police. It’s against the law to pee for free, and the consequences are high: all violators of the law are sent to the fabled place, Urinetown, as punishment. After a new bathroom fee hike, resentment grows among citizens, and a rebellion roars across the city. All the while, families are torn apart, young lovers bond, corporate interests soar, and a polarizing class war rages on.

Urinetown is a musical that pokes fun at musicals, and the Saxon Stage students are having laughs from script to stage. Performers are busy learning their lyrics and lines, rehearsing ensemble dance choreography, researching political principles discussed in the story, and chuckling backstage at the comedy onstage in the show. Tech students spent afternoons constructing a large platform set fit with a sewer system crawl space, designing stylized costume and makeup looks for each Urinetown character, and implementing a new surround sound system in the Langley auditorium.
