Originally scheduled to play a ten-week run through March 25, the show will now extend to June 3, the producers announced March 13.

Performances play The Actors' Playhouse, 100 Seventh Ave. South in Greenwich Village.

Directed by Obie Award winner Alex Timbers, Scott Brown and Anthony King's Gutenberg! The Musical! currently stars Obie Award winner Jeremy Shamos as Doug Simon and current Helen Hayes Award nominee David Turner as Bud Davenport.

"In this two-man musical spoof, a pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers' audition for their new project — a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract — fulfilling their ill-advised dreams."

Gutenberg! The Musical! is presented Off-Broadway by Trevor Brown, Ron Kastner, Terry Allen Kramer and Joseph Smith in association with the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Gutenberg! The Musical! marks the first Off-Broadway transfer for the acclaimed Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, where it was originally developed in 2003.
