Ripped from the 1992 World Weekly News tabloid headline, BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is both a horror spoof and big-hearted satire on American prejudice – all set to an outstanding pop-rock score. When a half-boy/half-bat creature is discovered in a cave near fictional Hope Falls, West Virginia, the local vet’s wife sets out to teach him the ways of civilization only to be thwarted by the colorful, narrow-minded, “civilized” town folk who have something else in mind. In the tradition of Sophocles, Sondheim and South Park—with hints of Mary Shelley, Tim Burton and Mel Brooks.  BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is a classic love story with a wicked bite! 

 

"Big laughs…It's remarkable what intelligent wit can accomplish—a jaggedly imaginative mix of skewering humor and energetic glee."—New York Times.

"Composed with smarts, staged with savvy and performed with gusto, BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is a winner. You'd be batty to miss it." —Star Ledger.
