Gutenberg! The Musical! is a metatheatrical romp in which the writers of a musical put on a low-budget presentation of their show—an under-researched piece of historical fiction (emphasis on the fiction)—about Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press.
The show stars Andrew Rannells (Girls, The Prom, Boys in the Band) as book writer Doug and Josh Gad (the voice of Olaf in Frozen, live-action Beauty and the Beast) as composer Bud.
The pair reunites for the first time since rising to fame, side by side, in the original Broadway company of The Book of Mormon.
Real-life writers Scott Brown and Anthony Kind and director Alex Timbers, who collaborated on Beetlejuice, join forces once again for this musical romp.
