Gutenberg! The Musical by Anthony King and Scott Brown
In Gutenberg! The Musical!, aspiring playwrights Bud Davenport and Doug Simon present their hilariously misguided musical about the life of Johannes Gutenberg to potential Broadway producers. With boundless enthusiasm and a collection of hats to represent different characters, they perform all the roles themselves, from Gutenberg’s dim but devoted assistant Helvetica to the villainous Monk who worships Satan. Their historical inaccuracies and over-the-top performances turn the backers’ audition into a riotous spectacle, filled with catchy tunes and laugh-out-loud moments. This meta-musical is a delightful satire on the world of theatre and the creative process, showcasing the duo’s unrelenting optimism and sheer love for the stage.

Content Advisory: Features humorous and sometimes suggestive dialogue, but no strong or offensive language; some mature themes related to ambition and deception, but they are handled with a light-hearted and comedic touch; some comedic accidents and physical humor; some suggestive situations and innuendos—nothing explicit. Suitable for teens and adults, with its blend of satire and comedy making it an enjoyable experience for a wide audience.
