“Cthulhu: The Musical” is Coming to Hollywood June 21-23
March 16, 2018
After six weeks of sold-out performances in Oregon, and several more in Seattle, Puppeteers for Fears, Oregon’s only dedicated puppet musical horror troupe, will be bringing its original show, Cthulhu: the Musical, to Los Angeles for performances at the Hollywood Fringe Festival from June 21-23.
“We’ve always been a touring company, but this will be our first time in Los Angeles,” says PFF Artistic Director Josh Gross. “Normally, we stick a bit closer to home since the production is so big, but we got so many requests to bring the show there that we couldn’t refuse.”
Far from the lo-fi puppet show stereotype, the production features a full cast of five actors with elaborate custom-made puppets, a full-rock band, and projected multimedia backgrounds.
“It’s not quite War Horse, but it’s a lot to bring on the road,” says Gross. “But it’s always worth it when we see audiences shocked at how big a show it is.”
The play is adapted from the 1929 short story, The Call of Cthulhu,”
