Due to a severe water shortage, private bathrooms are outlawed. Everyone must pay the crippling fees to use public amenities run by a monopolistic corporation. Those who cannot pay get dragged off to Urinetown, a mysterious place from which they never return. Finally, one public amenity manager leads the people in rebellion with the help of his true love, the daughter of the corporation's greedy president.
