BAT BOY: The Musical
Story & Book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming
Music & Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe
Directed by Danny Dunderman
This smart, hilarious, and tuneful off-Broadway hit is an uproarious, high-energy parable about prejudice, community, love… and blood-sucking bats.
Based on a ridiculous tabloid story, Bat Boy: The Musical is a 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. Bat Boy is happy with his new life, but 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 Bat Boy. Shelley and Bat Boy, who have fallen in love, run away together from the ignorant townfolk, but their happiness is shattered when Meredith arrives and reveals a shocking secret. Soon, the entire town arrives to hear the horrifying story of Bat Boy’s unholy origin.
Bat Boy: The Musical is produced through a special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
ADMISSION: $30 members / $35 general public / $32 group of 10+
This production has reserved seating. | Online fees apply. | Parental discretion is advised.
*ASL interpreted performance on October 23.
