I just read the plot of Urinetown: The Musical (Yale's fall musical) on wikipedia and then I listened to the soundtrack. My lord is it gruesome. The music's good and it on the whole is entertaining, but it's sometimes a little too much. It's a satire that takes place in some no-name town where there's a drought. To get people to drink less water, they eliminate private bathrooms so people have to go to public toilets to pee, which means they have to pay a tax of 25 cents. If people can't pay, they can't pee. If they try to pee anywhere else they're shipped off to "Urinetown."
I really hope I get into it, especially as the show involves little dancing.
