GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
APR 1 - MAY 9, 2026
By Anthony King & Scott Brown
Directed and Choreographed by Tyler Michaels King
Music Direction by Jason Hansen
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.
The complete cast includes Tom Reed (Scotland, PA and Stones in His Pockets) and Dominic Schiro (Latté Da debut), with understudies Noah Hynick (Latté Da debut) and Carl Swanson (Scotland, PA).
GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! runs 2 hours, including one 15 minute intermission.
With gratitude to our Production Partners Cara Sjodin & Scott Stensrud and Judy Schwartau.
