GUTENBERG The Musical! Fan Feedback?

Hey Folks -

I'm treating my older sister to GUTENBERG! tonight (Wednesday, the 21st) and I was wondering if maybe I could garner some feedback from those who have already attended performances. I hear nothing but good things, and with the extended run (thru June 3rd) I have some positive vibes for tonight's show.

Any thoughts I could run with?

Thanks in advance,
- Mike

I agree with theatertrash. This show is SO FUNNY. Great cast, great piano player, smart writing. It all works.

... my only complaint was a bit of lagging in the second act, but that's a common problem in theater (which the cast mocks at the top of the act).

Besides that, it's pretty close to perfect. You'll love it.

funny. funny. funny. i hope it stays open!

So, it was another lousy Wednesday at work and got out too late to rush. Grumpy and depressed, I head for the Starbucks in Sheridan Square to work on my musical for awhile. I notice the Gutenberg marquee across the street then went about fighting for a table near an outlet. Out of curiosity, I popped onto this board, found this thread and thought, "What the Hell?". Testing's discount code was still good so I ordered a ticket.

I still hurt. I haven't laughed that hard at a show in years. The girl next to me excused herself and went to the ladies room because she had 'peed herself a little'. The two high school boys in front of me dragged there by their mom took their iPOD ear buds out. I ran out of napkins to wipe away the tears. My God.

The energy level was insane, I needed the intermission to collect myself. Thanks to everyone who recommended this show, it's now on my list of Gotta Sees for friends who come to NYC. I mean... wow.
