SUMMARY:Gutenberg! The Musical! at Playhouse on Park
DESCRIPTION:A fast-paced and wildly inventive musical comedy takes the stage with Gutenberg! The Musical!\, a playful spoof centered on two aspiring playwrights pitching an over-the-top Broadway musical about the inventor of the printing press.

SUMMARY:Gutenberg! The Musical! at Playhouse on Park
DESCRIPTION:A fast-paced and wildly inventive musical comedy takes the stage with Gutenberg! The Musical!\, a playful spoof centered on two aspiring playwrights pitching an over-the-top Broadway musical about the inventor of the printing press. Bud and Doug perform every role themselves using minimal props\, boundless enthusiasm\, and quick costume changes\, turning their ill-advised historical epic into a hilarious exploration of ambition\, creativity\, and theatrical hope. Written by Anthony King and Scott Brown\, the show blends sharp humor with heartfelt charm in a format that celebrates the absurdity of making art about making art. \nGutenberg! The Musical! runs from January 21 through February 8\, 2026\, at Playhouse on Park in West Hartford\, CT. Performances are offered throughout the week\, including evenings\, matinees\, and select morning performances\, with previews on January 21 and 22. The production runs approximately two hours\, including one 15-minute intermission\, and is recommended for ages 12 and up. All seats for morning performances are $25 plus a service charge. Tickets and full performance details are available through the Playhouse on Park website.
