"EXCEPTIONALLY FUNNY." (am New York)
"One hell of a goofy evening, EXCEEDINGLY DROLL." (Variety)

"A GLEEFUL AFFAIR that's LOADED WITH LAUGHS." (Daily News)

In 1450, Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press. In Nutley, NJ, Bud and Doug wrote a show about him. They don't have a cast, an orchestra, or a clue . . . but they have a lot of hats. Tonight they pitch their misbegotten musical to the producers who might take their dream to Broadway.

Starring Jeremy Shamos (The Rivals, Reckless) and David Turner (In My Life, Spamalot)
Directed by Alex Timbers (Hell House, A Very Merry . . . Scientology Pageant)
Written by Scott Brown and Anthony King

This clip features the ORIGINAL OFF-BROADWAY CAST: Christopher Fitzgerald (Bud) and Jeremy Shamos (Doug), accompanied by T.O. Sterrett.

"EXCELLENT PERFORMERS make delightful company, with a charm that's hard to resist." (The Star Ledger)

"RIOTOUSLY FUNNY." (Time Out New York)

"A SMALL TREASURE." (WBAI Radio)

"UPROARIOUS and HYSTERICALLY FUNNY, funnier than The Drowsy Chaperone and [title of show]." (Associated Press)

"THE BEST of the new breed of musical spoofs. Like The Producers meets [title of show],
and packaged as a rare, successful Saturday Night Live skit, with two of the season's most
GLIMMERING PERFORMANCES." (flavorpill.net)

"It seems that Monty Python's whole troupe has taken possession of two New York naifs, aspiring
musical-theatre writers Bud and Doug, in this INSPIRED parody of Broadway bombast." (The New Yorker)
