PBJ - The Musical: A Surreal Shakespearean Sandwich Story

PBJ - The Musical offers a unique, surreal twist on Shakespeare, blending musical theatre with the humble peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Follow the star-crossed romance of a strawberry and a peanut, guiding their story or letting the narrative unfold automatically.

The theatre world often struggles for originality. PBJ - The Musical tackles this by embracing the digital realm and eschewing shock value for pure surrealism. This quirky, handcrafted mobile game (releasing March 26th on iPhone and iPad) reimagines Romeo and Juliet through the lens of a PB&J.

The game features ten musical numbers, handmade stop-motion animation, amateur Shakespearean voice acting, and interactive elements. Players drag and drop story elements, creating a unique experience each playthrough. Guide the peanut and strawberry lovers through this bizarre, yet charming, theatrical adventure.

A Quirky Delight (or Not?)

The game's quirkiness is central to its appeal. Whether you'll enjoy PBJ - The Musical depends on your tolerance for the unconventional. The evident effort and creativity invested are intriguing, and its reception upon release will be fascinating to observe.

Other recent mobile musical releases exist, such as Adventures of a Cat in Space, which shares some similarities with PBJ - The Musical in its unique approach but focuses on a different narrative—a cat stranded in space.
