No, you're not the only one to think of Steve Guttenberg - check out this YouTube video made by the people who did the Chicago production of the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnhYwkObk3g Then come see the Seattle show.

Yeah, but this is the age of irony and the Reduced Shakespeare Company. I can totally see someone doing a wacky theatrical production (musical or meta-musical) all about the last days in the bunker called: EVA! If Tammy Faye Messner (nee Bakker) can inspire not one, but two musicals, I can totally see one for the acting power behind the Police Academy oeuvre ;) And that shames me.

I thought of the Gutenberg Bible first thing, but that is because I was religiously indoctrinated starting early in my childhood and have still never even heard of this "Steve Guttenberg."

@ChrisB: What about "side-splittingly funny" made you think of Steve Guttenberg? Ha! I kid. Actually, anecdotally, about 70% of the people I've talked to think "Steve!" first thing.

OK, just so I can ease my troubled conscience: Am I the only one who read the title and thought that there was a typo, and that this was a musical about Steve Guttenberg?
