New York fans of “Gutenberg! The Musical!” can catch its creators, Anthony King and Scott Brown on PBS Theater Talk, this Friday at 12:30am. Although the exclusive interview will be available only on WNET 13 in NYC and in subsequent reruns, you can see a clip now at Anthony King’s website.
The Story:
In 1450, Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press. In Nutley, NJ, Bud and Doug wrote a musical about him. They don’t have a cast, an orchestra, or a clue . . . but they have a lot of hats. Tonight they’re pitching this hilarious epic to the producers who might take their dream to Broadway.
The Critics:
“A smashing success! Scott Brown and Anthony King are superb comic writers. Who knew that a musical about the life of the inventor of the printing press could have so many laughs?” –New York Times
“Monty Python’s whole troupe has taken possession of two New York naïfs, in this inspired parody of Broadway bombast.” –The New Yorker
