Gutenberg! The Musical!

Fresh off its hit Broadway premiere, Gutenberg! The Musical! is a clever, offbeat, frequently absurd comedy that affectionately spoofs the world of musical theater. This love letter to new works is told through the lens of two aspiring writers earnestly pitching their wildly inaccurate musical about the invention of the printing press, blending infectious enthusiasm, witty songs, and irreverent historical twists.  

Twin Cities theater luminary Tyler Michaels King returns to Latté Da, this time wearing the (trucker) hat of Director. Equal parts satire and celebration, Gutenberg! is a fast-paced theatrical romp that revels in the art of making something out of nothing—one song and one dream at a time. 

Note: Due to limited ticket numbers, teachers and students can register for the 3/31 preview performance, but the 4/10 performance is reserved for students and family members only.

Temas

This show is about two writer/performers writing a musical based on real history, but with an invented storyline. This style of art is sometimes called “historical fiction.” What might be the purpose of this kind of story, compared to a story based on verifiable facts?
