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!

Falsettos is a Tony-award winning, sung-through musical about Marvin, a neurotic New Yorker in the late 1970s/early 1980s who leaves his wife and son for a male lover, Whizzer. Set against the AIDS epidemic, it explores the creation of an unconventional family, blending humor with poignant drama.
