In the ever-evolving world of theatre, where shock and melodrama have become commonplace, the digital realm offers a fresh canvas for innovation. Enter PBJ - The Musical, a uniquely quirky mobile game that reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet through the lens of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Set to launch on iPhone and iPad on March 26th, this game allows players to either guide the narrative or let it unfold automatically.

PBJ - The Musical delivers its story across ten musical acts, featuring handmade stop-motion animation and amateur Shakespearean voice-acting. Players can interact with the story by dragging and dropping elements, creating a unique rendition with each playthrough. The game follows the journey of a star-crossed strawberry and peanut, blending surrealism with classic theatre in a way that's both innovative and engaging.
