After last year’s heralded production of Spring Awakening, the Tulane Musical Theatre Workshop is back with the Tony Award winning URINETOWN.  Originally, Urinetown was the show that no production company would touch.  It was only after winning audiences over at the New York Fringe Festival that Urinetown made its Off-Broadway debut in May of 2001 and subsequently transferred to Broadway in September 2001 just after 9/11.  The production would go one to play for 965 performances.
