"Gutenberg! The Musical!" Comes to Chicago

"Gutenberg! The Musical" will make its Chicago premiere at the Royal George Theatre on June 25th until July 27th.

Before you get too excited, this show is not about Steve Guttenberg of "Cocoon," "Police Academy," and "3 Men and a Baby" fame. If Jerry Springer can have his own musical, why not his fellow "Dancing With The Stars" alum, right?

This show, however, is about the Gutenberg with one "t"; the one who invented the printing press. And it may not be as boring as it sounds.

The acclaimed two-man musical comedy was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical in 2007. Similar to "The Producers," "Gutenberg" is a show within a show. It is about a pair of playwrights who perform a backers' audition for a "a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johannes Gutenberg." The two actors play more than 30 roles, including an evil monk and a beautiful girl named Helvetica.
