The hit of the 2008 Fringe Festival, and greatest musical ever written about the invention of the printing press is back! This award winning musical spoof follows Bud and Doug, two hapless composers who have created the greatest mega-musical of all time, all about the life of Johann Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press. Through the course of the show the two portray Gutenberg, his love interest (Helvetica), his nemesis (an evil Monk) and over 20 other characters as they pitch their opus to a band of ruthless Broadway producers.

Coming off the huge success of Tuesdays With Morrie at Presentation House in March, Joel Grinke, with the help of Antony Holland’s No Bells and Whistles Theatre Company, is bringing Gutenberg! The Musical to the North Shore. The revival sees the return of director Brian Anderson – who won an Ovation Award for the original Fringe production – Nathan Clark, and pianist Matt Grinke (who is also Joel’s brother). New to the cast is Vancouver Theatresports alumni and Canadian Comedy Award winner Toby Berner. Add to this a different special guest appearance every night, and you have a powerhouse cast.
