'Gutenberg! The Musical' Reviews
"Gutenberg! The Musical" received mixed reviews from critics, saying that the music and lyrics were lackluster.
"At first, all off the goings-on are entertaining in a crazy kind of way - until they become less and less so. The serviceable songs and uninspired lyrics never rise to any comedic heights; the schtick of the actors wearing dozens of caps - with the names of the multiple characters emblazoned on them - quickly grows tiresome; and the faux Gutenberg story, for all its wackiness, is just not that engaging, especially as the show stretches into a second act," Variety wrote in a review.
However, they pointed out that seeing Gad and Rannells makes up for it.
"Props are few and far between - this is a two-man show that puts on full display just what makes Gad and Rannells such special performers. They're clearly having a great time and hope you are, too," Entertainment Weekly said in a rave review. "Certainly, other performers could endeavor to make their marks on the roles - and have - but one of the major selling points of Gutenberg! is the "reunion" of Gad and Rannells. And, boy, do they sell it. Exclamation point!"
