Created by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann, Urinetown presents a dystopian world where capitalism, political corruption and social imbalance not only exist but thrive. Despite a heavy subject matter, the musical plays into the comedy, the clichés, and the puns, as well as it’s self-realisation that it is a musical.

This context allows multiple interpretations where the design can either lean into the bleak eerily realistic world or to explore the opposite and embrace the absurdity.
