Bat Boy: The Musical!

Theater Musicals Performance Art

What’s Happening?

Ripped from the pages of the worlds worst news tabloid, Bat Boy: The Musical is a highly-acclaimed cult musical phenomenon presented by the same company that brought you Reefer Madness and Evil Dead: The Musical.

About the show:

Based on a story in The Weekly World News, BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is a musical comedy/horror show about a half boy/half bat creature who is discovered in a cave near Hope Falls, West Virginia. For lack of a better solution, the local sheriff brings Bat Boy to the home of the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker, where he is eventually accepted as a member of the family and taught to act like a “normal” boy by the veterinarian’s wife, Meredith, and teenage daughter, Shelley. When he naively tries to fit in with the narrow-minded people of Hope Falls, they turn on him, prodded by the machinations of Dr. Parker, who secretly despises him. Will Bat Boy and Shelley be able to find true happiness, or will the secret of Bat Boy's unholy origin rip apart this small suburban community?

Story and book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming

Music and Lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe

Directed by Tye Stover

Production/Costume design by Marina Turner.
