Gutenberg! The Musical!, written by Scott Brown and Anthony King, is a comedy about two friends, Bud and Doug. The buddies are writing a musical comedy about Johannes Gutenberg, who founded the printing press in 1448. While the pair are overly enthusiastic about the project, they fill their show about Gutenberg with historical inaccuracies and fabricated details.
The show is framed as a backers audition. Bud and Doug are pitching their big musical comedy about Gutenberg to Broadway producers, but they don’t have a cast or an orchestra. Instead, the two portray all the characters, using various props and costumes to comedic effect.
Brown and King developed Gutenberg! The Musical! with the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade in the early 2000s. The musical was presented at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2005 and 2006 and had subsequent productions at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London and 59E59 Theaters and The Actors’ Playhouse in New York City.
