Music Mountain Theatre presents "Urinetown"

(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre presents Urinetown weekends from July 10 through August 2, 2026. A sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.

In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny.

Performances take place Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30pm; and matinees on Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ-179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.

The cast includes Rhett Commodaro (Bobby Strong), Chelsea Connelly Lewis (Hope Cladwell), Edward J. Forstoffer III (Caldwell B. Cladwell), Jenny Weiner (Penelope Pennywise), Elise Carey (Little Sally), Zachary Uzupis (Officer Lockstock), and Seth Epstein (Officer Barrel).

Rounding out the cast is Will Barnes, Tiffany Chamberlain, Amelia Corda, Katie Harris, Jenn Hsiao, David McCloughan Jr., Aubrey Malakoff, Riley Malone, Anna Mikoski, Robert Miller, Mike Prikril, Deborah Rizzo, Amanda Romig, Theresa M. Smith, Kyle Stephen, Morgan Tarrant, Jackie Toro, Sue Uzupis Jahani, and Bill Weir.
