MUSICAL
AUDITIONS

This musical production is billed as an uproariously funny tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets.
