Albeit done with puppets, in a Muppets style. Sounds fun, and it runs for two hours under the title of <em>Cthulhu: the Musical!<\/em> (R-rated). You can catch it touring America with the <a href=\"https:\/\/puppeteersforfears.com\/\">&#8216;Puppeteers for Fears&#8217;<\/a> troupe, a puppeteer troupe based out of Oregon, USA. They&#8217;re now a month away from setting out on a 2023 post-lockdown summer tour, with a banner tour headline of &#8220;Back from the Dead&#8221;. Also on the road with them will be a full rock band, multimedia projectionists and (one hopes) some cute 1970s-style groupies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fearstour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fearstour.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"340\" height=\"491\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59922\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Booking now.<\/p>\n<p><em>Update: Reviews say it&#8217;s only very &#8220;loosely based&#8221; on Lovecraft&#8217;s story.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m always partial to a bit of good song-and-dance musical theatre, and so was pleased to hear of a new &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2023\/05\/28\/cthulhu-the-musical\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lovecraftian-arts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59921"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61050,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59921\/revisions\/61050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
