Greg Kotis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greg Kotis wrote the book and co-wrote the lyrics of Urinetown the Musical. He got the idea for Urinetown the Musical when, on a ill-budgeted visit to Paris in 1995, he had to limit his trips to the pay toilets that are ubiquitous in that city. Urinetown the Musical received ten Tony Award nominations: Best Director, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical, Best Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, two nominations for Best Actress in a Musical (Nancy Opel and Jennifer Laura Thompson), Best Featured Actress in a Musical, Best Choreography, and Best Orchestration.
