Okay so of things I did not expect: Micky Dolenz, one of the Monkees, that 60s band with a goofy TV show who sang "I'm a Believer," sang a song from Urinetown, the musical that yes, is about urine. Specifically about a dystopia where you can only pee in bathrooms that you need to pay to use, and no one has the money to do that. It's. Uh. A musical alright. The music slaps, but the writing is not good.

But anyway. Micky Dolenz absolutely KILLS at "Don't be the Bunny" from Urinetown. Like I was surprised enough that he even knew Urinetown existed, and then he's great at it?

I highly recommend. Thank you @70snasagay for being the reason I know about this.

If you love the plot of the musical “Newsies” but wish it was less serious, didn’t have a happy ending, was set in a fictional dystopia instead of New York in 1899, had more murder in it, and was about a drought, then boy do I have the musical for you.

And on the flip side, if you love the plot of the musical “Urinetown” but wish it was less comedic, didn’t have a sad ending, was set in New York in 1899 instead of a fictional dystopia, had less murder in it, and was about newspapers, then boy do I also have the musical for you.

What is Urinetown? Well, that's easy.

Urinetown is $20 for a bottle of water.

Urinetown is fees for sitting or standing in one place for too long, even if you're pregnant or physically disabled.

Urinetown is the loitering fee -- which is basically a charge you get for existing in public without buying something.

Urinetown is hostile/anti-homeless architecture.

Urinetown is having to pay extra for food products that are safe for you, as opposed to ones that will give you allergic reactions.

Urinetown is fresh produce costing more than a fast food meal that's devoid of nutrition, despite the former coming from the Earth and the latter costing God-knows-what to process the meal.

Urinetown is insulin costing ridiculous amounts of money, and always being in short supply.

Urinetown is the [pay-to-use toilet] that inspired the show in the first place.

Urinetown is every moment when a poor person has to choose between paying to use said toilet or buying a meal with the little money they have that day.

Urinetown is the weaponization of the poor's lack of hygiene against them, as if it's their fault that they're not allowed in public showers, there are very few public bathhouses in the West, and anywhere else that they exist in public is frowned upon.

Urinetown is any and every inconvenience that the elite have forced upon the lower classes in the name of wringing even more money out of them, that they then either sit their dirty asses on or feed to the War Machine.

That is Urinetown. Urinetown is here.

Fuck the UGC and fuck 12.

OFFICER LOCKSTOCK

[pocketpauling]

My Buddy in theater posed the question “is ICUP a slur in Urinetown” and I think he was onto something

[ramanoodles]

I cannot stress enough how Lockstock repeating the show as a time loop breaks me. I used to find the Barrel confession scene funny and cute, now it's tragic. Lockstock had feelings for him but the script wont let him show it you can't tell me otherwise. Little Sally has to die too. His basically adopted daughter. Dead. I'm actually going to cry.
