WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Based on events as chronicled in the Weekly World News, Bat Boy The Musical takes flight when a pointy-eared, bright-eyed bat-child is discovered in a cave in the West Virginia hills by some adventure-seeking teenagers. Faster than a bat outta hell, this curious creature turns a quiet mountain town upside down, ensuring that the sleepy Southern community of Hope Falls, WV will never be the same. Written by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming, the show has music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe.
A limited number of $20 rush tickets are available at the box office for each performance.

When we first heard about Bat Boy The Musical, we thought it was about baseball. Apparently, so did most of the headline writers in New York: reviewers for the two tabloids have written that the new musical at the Union Square Theatre "hits a home run." During the show's first two numbers, a generic rock tune with a banal lyric followed by a mock-rap misfire (the words of which we could not make out), we thought the mighty Bat Boy was about to strike out.
