Gutenberg! The Musical

Sol Theatre
3333 N. Federal Highway Boca Raton

First there was Evita. Then there was Hamilton. And now comes ... Gutenberg! Both a loving tribute to and a biting satire of The Great American Musical, Gutenberg! The Musical is a hilarious spoof that tells the story of two aspiring playwrights trying to get funding for what they believe just might be the greatest show ever staged: a big, splashy song-and-dance spectacular about printing press inventor Johannes Gutenberg. With an endless supply of charm and enthusiasm, and an abundance of bumbling idiocy, "Bud" and "Doug" sing the songs and play all the parts in their historical "epic," using only baseball caps to differentiate among the show's 30 characters. Developed at Upright Citizen's Brigade before becoming an off-Broadway hit, this hilarious production at Sol Theatre in Boca Raton is a whirlwind of music, laughter and fascinating tidbits about movable-type printing.
