Gutenberg! The Musical
The Tony-nominated musical comes to Sydney!
The Tony-nominated musical comes to Sydney!
Starring Sydney Theatre Award winners Stephen Anderson (Titanique) and Ryan Gonzalez (In The Heights)!
Meet Bud and Doug, two enthusiastic (if not slightly misguided) writers with dreams of Broadway glory. Armed with nothing but boundless creativity and a plethora of hilarious hats, these two lovable underdogs embark on a quest to stage their over-the-top historical epic. As they transform into an eclectic cast of characters, from the ambitious Gutenberg to a scheming monk and a dim-witted peasant, their dedication and earnestness shine through, making for an evening that is as heartwarming as it is hilarious.
Expect the unexpected in this delightfully offbeat production. "Guttenberg! The Musical!" is a meta-theatrical marvel, blending clever satire with genuine affection for its subject matter. It's a love letter to the spirit of invention and the audacity of dreaming big, no matter the odds.
Directed by Alex Timbers, Gutenberg! The Musical came to life in 2005, written by Scott Brown and Anthony King, when they were part of a legendary improv troupe, Upright Citizens Brigade, where it was part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. More recently, it was seen on Broadway in 2024 with Book of Mormon alums Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad.
