PBJ - The Musical is NOT a musical, sort of, but it\'s coming to mobile in a few months

PBJ - The Musical: A Surreal Shakespearean Sandwich Saga

PBJ - The Musical offers a wildly unconventional twist on Shakespeare, blending musical theatre with the unlikely theme of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Follow the star-crossed romance of a strawberry and a peanut in this quirky mobile game, launching March 26th on iPhone and iPad.

Tired of predictable theatre? This digital experience eschews shock value for pure surrealism. Players can either passively enjoy the automatically unfolding narrative or actively shape the story by dragging and dropping interactive elements.

The game unfolds through ten musical numbers, featuring handmade stop-motion animation and amateur Shakespearean voice acting. Each playthrough promises a unique experience thanks to the player's influence on the narrative. Guide your peanut and strawberry lovers through this bizarre, but charming, reimagining of Romeo and Juliet.

A Quirky Delight (or Not)?

The game's quirkiness is central to its appeal, and whether you appreciate it will likely determine your enjoyment. The evident effort invested in the production is intriguing, and it will be interesting to see player reception upon its release.

For fans of musical mobile games, it's worth noting that Adventures of a Cat in Space offers a similar style, though with a different focus (a cat stranded in space, rather than a Shakespearean sandwich adaptation).
