WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Continuing the saga started by the Weekly World News, this Off-Broadway hit is chock full of both hilarity and heart-wrenching emotion. Edgar, the Bat Boy, is found in cave in West Virginia and then brought-up by a well-meaning family. Still the outsider, Edgar struggles to fit and survive in a world that is not ready to accept him.
Not an old-school musical, Bat Boy has reached cult status in the US and abroad. With serious themes, such as racism, extremism, and revenge, and musical styles from rap to opera, the play examines societal hypocrisy using humor, irony and camp-style horror.

Worth the trip
Village Players may be at the end of the green line at the Harlem stop, but its the closest anyone can get to seeing it in Chicago because the show isnt allowed within the city limits. The cast is amazing! I was gripped with emotion for the lead characters, but I was entertained throughly by the antics of the ensemble. Its a show to see!

RE:A show to see
We saw the show on the first night, and what a funny and talented cast. The singing is so amazing, and it lives up to the cult classic. Edgar is an excellent Bat Boy. The Mom, Ruthie, the brothers all so funny. The puppet thing I did not get, but all and all worth every cent, and we will go again. For a dark musical, this was something to see! Cant wait to see it again!
