About This Show

Bat Boy, The Musical, the off-Broadway hit, has played to sold out houses across the United States and London. Based on an actual story in The World Weekly News, Bat Boy is a comedy/horror show about a half boy/half bat discovered in a cave in West Virginia. He tries to fit into small town life, falls in love, resists giving into prejudice, but all hell breaks loose when his dark nature is revealed.

Hailed at one of the most original musicals to date; Bat Boy opened at The Union Square Theater in New York City on March 3, 2001. Winner of “Best Musical” by both the Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel Awards, Bat Boy continues playing to sold-out houses across the United States and Europe. Story and book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming, with music by Laurence O’Keefe, here’s what critics have to say about this sexy, mischievous, and mysterious creature:

“Big laughs…it’s remarkable what intelligent wit can accomplish–a jaggedly imaginative evening 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

Anthony Jackman (Director) and John Thomas (Musical Director), part of the successful team that delivered such PTC hits as Hair and Cabaret, return to The Provincetown Inn for this year’s musical production.

There is a benefit performance for PTC on August 24th.
