I'm sorry. I really, really am. But this was just bad. Not bad in a fun way, not enjoyable bad, just... bad. At least, the first half was. We walked out during intermission.

Cthulhu the Musical was filled with Wonderful energy and humor - emoted through Expressive puppetry action and catchy musical backing !
