"Urinetown is a hilarious satire of capitalism, Broadway shows, and pretty much everything else. The idea is that a major corporation has locked up a monopoly on every public toilet in the land. They’re charging an entry fee, of course, and the government has decreed that water is so scarce that nobody is allowed to use their private facilities. It’s all great fun and the musical numbers are catchy to say the least. " - PCS Website

The Urinetown set design stems from the concept of a public restroom. Public Amenity 9 is described as one of the busiest, most run-own restrooms in the bad part of town and as a design team, we decided that the most commonplace for a Public Restroom was at a park or playground. From there the concept spiraled and grew into the multi-leveled, subway tiled structure that is seen below, providing home to the many characters and locations that make up the town of Urinetown.
