Music-genius Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields just opened a new musical based on Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, with no relation to the recent movie.

The heroine has a bit of a more mature look in this version.

The New York Times review that came out earlier this week is a little mixed, but it made me think that I might like it for all its strangeness.

Coraline is playing at the MCC Theater in the West Village through July 5. I’ll be seeing it later this month!
