An earnest fable of love, greed and revolution set in a town plagued by drought. A simple enough plot, complete with villain, hero and romance: a malevolent corporation controls the town’s public amenities; the president’s daughter falls in love with the leader of a pee-for-free rebellion. All of this, according to Little Sally, the show’s ragamuffin philosopher, is a bad subject for a musical (and so is its title), but it’s outrageous fun and “you gotta go!” Drawing from West Side Story and Les Miserables among others, the show spoofs the great American musical. Winner of 3 Tony Awards, 3 Outer Critic’s Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and 2 Obie Awards.
