Gutenberg! The Musical! at Playhouse on Park

January 21 - February 8, 2026

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!

by Anthony King and Scott Brown

Directed by SASHA BRÄTT
Music direction by MILES MESSIER

Get ready to laugh until your cheeks hurt! This wildly clever, high-energy musical spoof takes you on a joyfully absurd ride through one of history’s most unlikely Broadway pitches. Bud and Doug, a pair of aspiring playwrights, perform an audition for investors to fund their new, ill-advised project: a big, splashy musical about none other than the inventor of the printing press– Johann Gutenberg! Armed with hats, props, and unshakable enthusiasm, Bud and Doug perform every role in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them that elusive Broadway contract. It’s art, imitating life, imitating art!
