Gutenberg! The Musical! is a musical written and composed by Scott Brown and Anthony King. Brown and King developed the show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City, where versions of it played over the course of more than a year.[1] The show was part of the 2005 New York Musical Theatre Festival and, in more final form, the 2006 Festival, and ran at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London in January 2006.[2]

The musical opened off-Broadway on December 3, 2006, directed by Alex Timbers, and closed on May 6, 2007.[3] A 2023 Broadway production, also helmed by Timbers, starred Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells.

The piece concerns two earnest but clueless theatre composers, who present a highly inaccurate musical about the life of Johannes Gutenberg to potential investors.
