The duo behind “Beetlejuice” on Broadway began their latest show, “Gutenberg! The Musical!,” as a goof.
History, as Florida has taught us, is constantly being rewritten. Just ask Anthony King and Scott Brown, whose “Gutenberg! The Musical!”—a hilariously apocryphal two-man show about the invention of the printing press—started previews on Broadway this month. The other morning, they stood outside the Morgan Library & Museum, waiting to see two of the Morgan’s three Gutenberg Bibles, and tried to reconstruct their friendship origin story.The “truth” emerged.
King and Brown began writing “Gutenberg” after college, as roommates. King was interning at the Manhattan Theatre Club, reading the slush pile, and they planned to submit their fake musical, as a goof. But they grew attached to their work, and soon they were performing it at the Upright Citizens Brigade. Next it went to London, and Off Broadway, and then to Spain , and France , and Korea , and other countries.
King: “In the musical, no one in the town can read, and he’s frustrated by that, and he realizes as he’s making wine one night that he could take the grapes out and—”King: “And the antagonist is a monk who wants no one to read because, as long as no one can read, the Bible says what he says it says.”
