GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! will run at Playhouse on Park in West Hartford, Connecticut, from January 21 through February 8, 2026. The production will be directed by Sasha Brätt, with music direction by Miles Messier. The musical features book, lyrics, and music by Anthony King and Scott Brown.
The show centers on Bud and Doug, two aspiring playwrights who stage an audition-style performance for potential producers in hopes of securing backing for their musical about Johannes Gutenberg. Using a collection of props, costumes, and character hats, the duo portrays every role in their historical production while pitching their work directly to the audience.
The production is recommended for audiences ages 12 and up and runs approximately two hours, including one 15-minute intermission.
