In a recent interview with Variety, stage and screen star Josh Gad revealed that he was hoping to return to Broadway in Gutenberg! The Musical! before plans were put on hold because of the pandemic. Gad was workshopping the musical in Los Angeles with his The Book of Mormon co-star Andrew Rannells.
The two have also reportedly considered leading a revival of The Producers.
Gutenberg! The Musical! is a musical written by Scott Brown and Anthony King. Brown and King developed the show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City, where it ran for over a year. The production was directed by Alex Timbers with music directed by T.O. Sterrett and starred Christopher Fitzgerald and Jeremy Shamos.

Before Brandon West launched his campaign to represent Brooklyn’s 39th District in the New York City Council, he served in the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget and in the City Council Finance Division. His experiences working inside the city government, and later as an organizer for groups like the New Kings Democrats and the Center for Popular Democracy, helped shape his campaign’s worker-focused agenda, which promises a Green New Deal, free and green public transit, housing justice, and substantial budget cuts to the NYPD.
