“A smashing success!”That’s how The New York Times described Gutenberg! The Musical while the Associated Press hailed it as “hysterically funny! Writers Anthony King and Scott Brown produced an uproarious script .” A two-man spoof of passionate musical theatre writers, Gutenberg! The Musical casts Christopher Fitzgerald and Jeremy Shamos as two desperate and bravely untalented songwriters performing a backers' audition for their new musical about the inventor of the printing press. Gutenberg! The Musical was nominated for the 2007 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical and the 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical; and its authors were nominated fro the 2007 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical.
