A pair of adorably inept playwrights perform a backer’s audition for their new, hilariously ill-advised production. It’s a big splashy musical about printing press inventor Johan Gutenberg, with a lot of trucker hats.
WHY SEE THIS SHOW:
Absurdly funny, inherently theatrical, this is a tour de force for two musical theater performers. We have two incredible performers doing what they were meant to do: sing about the invention of the printing press in a musical written by the Tony-nominated guys behind BEETLEJUICE.
But it’s not really about Gutenberg, it’s really about our two performers, their love for their craft and their platonic love for each other. The joy in watching this show is how people with the best talent but questionable intentions can create something absurd, weird, moving, and hilarious, all without guile. It’s a sweet show with a sweet message, but also has madcap comedy throughout. There are multiple group dance numbers. Despite there being only two people in the cast.
This is a unicorn, in that it is a musical for people who don’t like musicals and also a musical for people who love musicals!
WHO SHOULD SEE THIS SHOW? If you enjoy HEDWIG, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, or BEETLEJUICE…this show will be a great time!
