GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! to Take the Stage as NextStop's First Show of 2015

NextStop Theatre kicks off 2015 with a musical-comedy for the ages. Gutenberg! The Musical, the hilariously, knee slappingly funny musical-spoof about the dream of Bud and Doug and their next (cross your fingers) smash Broadway musical makes its way to the DMV! Bud and Doug's subject? Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, featuring all the drama, spectacle, and pizzazz that you would expect from hits like Les Miserables or The Lion King. The only catch is that they need someone to produce the show. So in the meantime, these two overly enthusiastic writers are ready to sing ALL the songs and play ALL the parts in this crass historical epic musical.

"These two men, Bud and Doug, have written a big Broadway musical, but have no money, no cast, and no supporters. It's one of the funniest musicals I've ever seen," Said Evan Hoffmann, Producing Artistic Director. "As of December 15, five performances are already sold out."

Off Broadway, "Gutenberg! The Musical!" garnered nominations for the 2007 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, the 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical; and its authors were nominated for the 2007 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical.
