Gutenberg!
The Musical
'Gutenberg!
The Musical!' was the winner of the 2006 New York Musical Theatre Festival Award
for Excellence in Musical Theatre Writing. It has enjoyed successful seasons Off-Broadway
and on London's West End. Now it comes to the Seymour Centre for its Australian
Premiere playing in the Downstairs Theatre from 16 to 21 February and returning
as part of a national tour from 14 to 25 July 2009.
Gutenberg
is presented by Ian Stenlake, Neil Gooding Productions and James Millar and written
by SCOTT BROWN and ANTHONY KING - hailed by The New York Times as 'superb comic
writers' for their work on Gutenberg!
In 1450 Johann Gutenberg
invented the printing press. In 2009, Bud and Doug wrote a show about it. No,
not just a show
a big, splashy musical! Now they just need ten million dollars
or so to put it on
.
In this two-man musical spoof, the
pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers audition for their new project
for
you, the audience
and some big Broadway producers! With an unending supply
of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their
silly historical epic.
Gutenberg! The Musical! will be directed
by NEIL GOODING and star DAVID HARRIS ('Miss Saigon', 'The Full Monty'), JAMES
MILLAR ('Oklahoma!', 'Company') and MISS BEV KENNEDY as Charles the accompanist!
