GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!

By Anthony King and Scott Brown

Music Direction by Jason Hansen
April 1 – May 3, 2026
Local Premiere

This high-energy, two-man musical satire follows a pair of hopefuls pitching their very inaccurate (and very enthusiastic) musical about the inventor of the printing press. Brimming with slapstick, irreverence, and chaotic fun.

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! includes:

  • Comic depictions of violence (intentionally exaggerated for humor)

  • Mild adult language and innuendo

  • Rapid character-switching and use of stereotypes for parody

  • Stylized haze and flashing lights

A great choice for older kids and adults who love musical theater—and theater about musicals.
