Topper Theater

In a drought-stricken dystopian city where private toilets are outlawed and the privilege to pee comes with a fee, a corporate tyrant controls the public amenities, squeezing every penny from society's most basic need. But when a humble custodian at Public Facility #9 decides he's held it in long enough, he leads a revolution to free the citizens from paying to pee! A brilliant musical that proves even the most unlikely premise can be flushed with success. It's a privilege to pee—but an even greater privilege to see!
