When it comes to theatre, it's easy to feel like everything has been done before, from the shocking to the melodramatic. To breathe fresh life into the medium, why not take it digital and embrace the utterly surreal? Enter PBJ - The Musical, a delightfully quirky mobile game that reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet through the lens of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Launching on iPhone and iPad on March 26th, PBJ - The Musical offers players the chance to either guide the story themselves or let it unfold automatically. The narrative unfolds over ten musical acts, featuring handmade stop-motion animation and amateur voice-acting, bringing a unique twist to classic theatre. Players can drag and drop story elements to create a new rendition each time, guiding the star-crossed lovers—a peanut and a strawberry—through this whimsical journey.

The term "quirky" doesn't even begin to cover the charm of PBJ - The Musical. Whether you'll enjoy it largely depends on your tolerance for quirkiness. There's no denying the effort that has gone into this upcoming release, and I'm eager to see how players respond when it hits iOS on March 26th.
Speaking of musicals, did you know there's another recent musical release on mobile? Adventures of a Cat in Space shares similarities with PBJ - The Musical, though it swaps Shakespeare for the adventures of a cat stranded in space.
