A decade after 'Book of Mormon,' Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells reunite for 'Gutenberg!,' an absurd musical romp.

I remember reading about this in one of the earlier posts and it catching my interest! Glad to read more about it now.

I think Alex Timbers is one of the best theatre directors working today: Peter & the Starcatcher is a total gem of a play; with Moulin Rouge he proved he does a better Baz Luhrman on stage than Baz Luhrman himself (I saw Luhrman's stage musical adaptation of Strictly Ballroom which he directed, and it was not good), and he helped turned Rocky the Musical - which could have been a camp disaster - into a show that was both spectacular and intimately character-focused. While I have my reservations about the size of the venue, I imagine this production of Gutenberg will be a bucketload of fun.
