In the ever-evolving world of theatre, where shocking and melodramatic narratives often dominate, PBJ - The Musical stands out by embracing a refreshing and surreal approach. This unique production transports the classic tale of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet into the whimsical realm of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Available on iPhone and iPad starting March 26th, PBJ - The Musical offers an interactive experience where you can either guide the narrative or let it unfold automatically.
The story unfolds through ten musical acts, featuring handmade stop-motion animation and voice-acting that captures the essence of amateur Shakespearean theatre. Players have the opportunity to influence the plot by dragging and dropping story elements, resulting in a unique rendition each time. Follow the journey of a star-crossed strawberry and peanut as they navigate this bizarre yet enchanting take on classic theatre.

PBJ - The Musical is undeniably quirky, and your appreciation for this unique blend of surrealism and interactivity will largely determine your enjoyment of the game. The effort and creativity poured into this mobile release are evident, and I am eager to see how players will respond when it launches on iOS on March 26th.
Speaking of musicals, another recent mobile release, Adventures of a Cat in Space, offers a similarly innovative experience. While PBJ - The Musical reimagines Shakespeare, Adventures of a Cat in Space focuses on the adventures of a stranded feline astronaut, blending music and storytelling in its own unique way.
