After a successful run at the St James Theatre, Urinetown The Musical, will transfer to the Apollo Theatre from 29 Sep 2014,through January 2015. The musical ran on Broadway from 2001 until 2004 and was nominated for ten Tony Awards, and won for Best Book, Best Score and Best Direction.
Reviews from the popular press for the St James production: “a subversive delight ” (Londontheatre.co.uk); “darkly entertaining and exceptionally sharp show” (Daily Telegraph); “It’s impossible to deny the originality of this crowd-pleaser” (The Evening Standard).
“Urinetown The Musical tells the tale of a town fit to burst; spending a penny can prove problematic in a place where the privilege to pee has become a punishable offence. There is no such thing as rent free relief until our young hero, Bobby Strong, appears – With more than a good set of pipes – and starts a revolution!”
