What is Urinetown? (Read First)

If you cared to waste your time looking at my factbooks, I bet this is exactly what you are asking yourself. People hear lots of things about Urinetown, of course, and that's just the way we like it. For example, a little boy once asked me, "Is Urinetown actually a nice place to live? Gingerbread houses along golden, frothy canals? Like Venice, but different?" I didn't say yes. I didn't say no, either. - Officer Lockstock, chief officer who enforces the law on Rebels who try to pee outside of Amenity #9
