Sort of: it’s actually Call of Cthulhu: The Musical webcomic. It’s a work in progress, and I am so far enjoying it; absolutely impossible to stage though, alas. Not to mention, probably wouldn’t get past the lawyers even under the rules for parody.

I wonder if it’s anything like my script and original cast recording of “A Shoggoth on the Roof”…
First of all, thank you Moe for posting a link to my comic! Much appreciated.
Secondly, when I first came up with the idea for doing a webcomic / musical, I did a google search to see if anyone had done anything similar. I found the wikipedia entry for “Shuggoth on the Roof”. “This is brilliant!” I thought, but then “and if I want to do this project I can’t read it”
So, if you see any similarities between my script and yours, it’s purely unintentional. I’ve deliberately avoided reading the stage play script so as not to be influenced by it.
I have, however, heard “If I were a deep one” on Youtube as well as “I saw Mommy kissing Yog Sothoth”. Both were hilarious and made me extremely annoyed that I hadn’t thought of those myself.
Having heard (not seen, alas) the first one, you should be all right: the HPLHS production is a pretty specific parody of Fiddler on the Roof.
