original cast of gutenberg! the musical - “ok! here we go!” lyrics
[doug, spoken]
ok, here we go!
[bud, spoken]
whoo! this is exciting!
[doug, spoken]
welcome to gutenberg!
[bud, spoken]
gutenberg… the musical!
[doug, spoken]
i’m mr. doug simon
[bud, spoken]
i’m mr. bud davenport
[doug, spoken]
we’ve written an exciting new show, and tonight, we want to present it for the very first time!
[bud, spoken]
but hopefully not for the last time!
[doug, spoken]
no;
with any luck, we’re hoping to take our show… to broadway!
[bud, spoken]
and as many of you already know, there are, in the audience tonight, some very big broadway producers!
so… tell them to produce our show!
[doug, spoken]
now+
[bud, spoken]
yes
[doug, spoken]
+writing a musical is not easy
[bud, spoken]
hats off to you elton john!
[doug, spoken]
but we did it!
i wrote what we call the book of the musical
[bud, spoken]
and i wrote the music
and the lyrics… well…
[both, spoken]
we wrote those together!
[doug, spoken]
so you’re probably sitting there and thinking to yourself
“okay, so you wrote a musical…
but what is it about?”
[bud, spoken]
i dunno doug
why don’t you tell us?
[doug, spoken]
alright, i will! it’s about johan gutenberg!
[bud, spoken]
who’s he?
[doug, spoken]
well, he’s the guy who invented the printing press
[bud, spoken]
and then printed up a bunch of copies of the bible
[doug, spoken]
now, what you’re gonna see tonight is what we call a “reading” of a musical
that means there’s no set, no costumes, only a few props, and no cast!
[bud, spoken]
it’s just me and doug
[doug, spoken]
right!
now, before we get started, we do want to take a second
to talk about something pretty serious
and that’s the holocaust
every important musical has to tackle at least one very serious issue
[bud, spoken]
like racism
[doug, spoken]
or vietnam
[bud, spoken]
or a man with half a face
[doug, spoken]
yes
our show is set in germany
so our serious issue is the holocaust
[bud, spoken]
germans hate jews!
[doug, spoken]
well… not all of them…
most of them!
[bud, spoken]
maybe not anymore…
but they used to!
[doug, spoken]
that hatred… is in this show
[bud, spoken]
it has to be!
[doug, spoken]
because it makes our show… important
and now…
[both, spoken]
gutenberg the musical!
