David Turner to Replace Christopher Fitzgerald in Gutenberg!

David Turner will replace Christopher Fitzgerald as Bud Davenport in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production of Gutenberg! The Musical! at The Actors’ Playhouse on February 13. The production is directed by Alex Timbers and also stars Jeremy Shamos and Ryan Karels.
Fitzgerald is leaving the production to head to Los Angeles for pilot season.

In the musical spoof, co-written by Anthony King and Scott Brown, two aspiring playwrights perform a backers’ audition of their new project: a musical about Johann Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press. The show played at 59E59 Theatres in December and was a hit at the recent New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF).

Turner’s many stage credits include the national tour of Monty Python’s Spamalot, the Broadway productions of In My Life and The Invention of Love, and such Off-Broadway shows as The Butter and Egg Man, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), and The Last Sunday in June.
