Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Fresh off its hit Broadway premiere,\u00a0<\/span>Gutenberg! The Musical!\u00a0<\/span><\/i>is a clever, offbeat,\u00a0frequently\u00a0absurd 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.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Twin Cities theater luminary Tyler Michaels King returns to Latt\u00e9 Da, this time wearing the (trucker) hat of Director. Equal\u00a0parts\u00a0satire and celebration,\u00a0<\/span>Gutenberg!\u00a0<\/span><\/i>is a fast-paced theatrical romp that revels in the art of making something out of nothing\u2014one song and one dream at a time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
