The HPLHS Shoggoth on the Roof Cast Album has been whispered of in dark alleys off Off-Broadway. Lawyers have bent paper clips into strange shapes at the very mention of its name. The CD features an ensemble of professional singers (and a few zombies) singing eleven tentacle-tapping musical numbers in a grand and fully-orchestrated production.
Huh? The stories of HP Lovecraft collide with the cherished Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. The result is an improbable, delightful and disturbing full-length Broadway-style musical featuring Lovecraftian horrors set to familiar tunes. For nearly 30 years, theatre companies have met their doom in attempting to stage this strange and terrible tale of love, family and tentacles. Here, for your enjoyment is a recording of all the numbers from the show.
The CD is, well, you know, just a normal CD featuring 11 songs and 41 minutes of music. And the the CD comes with a free digital download of all the songs from the CD.

We're also strange enough to offer the libretto of A Shoggoth on the Roof. This 74 page perfect-bound book features the full script, a weird tale of Miskatonic librarian Henry Armitage and his efforts to marry off his three daughters Asenath, Prudence and Jill. It's filled with all the lyrics, photos and other fun stuff. It's the safest way to have a A Shoggoth on your bookshelf.
For the truly mad musical theatre fan we offer our Shoggoth Combo Pack. This features the Cast Album CD, the Libretto and a DVD with our documentary film about the original attempt to stage A Shoggoth on the Roof in Los Angeles in the 1970s. This 20-minute film features Stuart Gordon, Chris Sarandon and many other strange people. The Shoggoth Combo also include a free digital download of the cast album as MP3 files.
