About this listen
In this episode, I sit down with Greg Kotis, the Tony Award–winning writer behind Urinetown the Musical, to unpack the power of satire, musical theatre as social commentary, and why the strangest ideas are often the most truthful.
We talk about the creation and legacy of Urinetown, how Mr Kotis approaches storytelling that challenges audiences without alienating them, and what he’s been working on since.
We also dive into creative chemistr, how to find your creative soulmate, why collaboration matters more than perfection, and what it means to keep making bold, original work in an industry that often rewards what’s familiar.
This conversation is for writers, theatre kids, creatives, and anyone obsessed with stories that take risks and refuse to play it safe.
