Gutenberg: The Musical

Gutenberg: The Musical is a comedic, fast-paced, two-man show abounding with energy. Written and composed by Scott Brown with Anthony King, this Tony-nominated Best Musical follows Bud (Adolpho Blaire) and Doug (Larry Alexander) as theatre writers and composers who try to sell a hilariously inaccurate musical about Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, to potential investors in a backers’ audition.

Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play every role in their self-proclaimed “next great American musical.” Brimming with enthusiasm, they narrate the story to the audience. Armed with only elementary research, Bud and Doug deliver a chaotic yet endearing performance with boundless ambition, hoping to secure the funding that will finally bring their self-proclaimed masterpiece to life.
