Choose your own adventure or let the story unfold automatically. In a theatre landscape often saturated with shock tactics, PBJ - The Musical offers a refreshing dose of whimsical absurdity, proving that digital theatre can break free from tired tropes.
What exactly *is* PBJ - The Musical? It's a quirky, handcrafted mobile game launching March 26th on iPhone and iPad. Experience a restructured version of Romeo & Juliet, but with a PB&J twist! Ten musical acts, handmade stop-motion animation, amateur Shakespearean voice acting, and interactive elements—drag and drop story elements to create your own unique performance each time. Guide a peanut and a strawberry through their bizarre, love-filled journey.
The quirkiness is undeniable, and whether you'll enjoy PBJ - The Musical depends on your tolerance for the unusual. However, the evident dedication and effort are intriguing, and it will be interesting to see how players react to this innovative approach when it launches on March 26th.
Speaking of musicals on mobile, another recent release, Adventures of a Cat in Space, shares a similar handcrafted feel. While PBJ - The Musical reimagines Shakespeare, Adventures of a Cat in Space focuses on—you guessed it—a cat stranded in space.
