PBJ - The Musical: A Surreal Shakespearean Sandwich
Tired of predictable theatre? PBJ - The Musical offers a refreshingly surreal twist on Shakespeare, blending musical theatre with the unlikely pairing of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This quirky mobile game, launching March 26th on iPhone and iPad, reimagines Romeo and Juliet as a star-crossed strawberry and peanut butter love story.
Experience the tale through ten original musical numbers, charming handmade stop-motion animation, and amateur Shakespearean voice acting. Players can either passively enjoy the automatically unfolding narrative or actively shape the story by dragging and dropping interactive elements, ensuring a unique experience each playthrough. Guide the peanut and strawberry lovers through this bizarre, yet captivating, theatrical journey.
A Quirky Delight (or Not?)
The game's quirkiness is undeniable. Whether you'll enjoy PBJ - The Musical hinges on your tolerance for the unconventional. The evident effort and creativity invested are intriguing, making its reception on March 26th particularly noteworthy.
Interestingly, PBJ - The Musical shares some similarities with another recent mobile musical, Adventures of a Cat in Space. While both offer unique musical experiences, Adventures of a Cat in Space forgoes the Shakespearean adaptation in favor of a feline space adventure.
