No, it's not Lovecraft nor Shoggoth on the Roof (http://www.cthulhulives.org/shoggoth/), it's Harry Potter.

For those jonesing for the next Harry Potter film to hurry up and open already, this should help to ease the symptoms somewhat. Vulture points to a group of students at the University of Michigan who recently produced a musical adaptation of the Harry Potter world, aptly titled H.P.: The Musical. Originally performed in April, the show is now available for viewing in its entirety on YouTube. It should be noted that, rather than a direct-to-stage adaptation, the show is a combination of loving homage and outrageous parody of both the book and film series.

Filled with song, laughter, and profanity, the show's highlights include: a horcrux hidden away in a Zefron poster, hormonal teenaged wizangst, and the Dark Lord Voldemort himself featured as the irritable half of a hilariously suggestive odd couple.

But this reminds me ... whatever happened to that misguided Rocky Horror remake? Please tell me somebody wised up and pulled the plug.
