Bat Boy: The Musical

This strange and hilarious Off-Broadway hit was inspired by articles in the infamous Weekly World News tabloid. It concerns a half-bat, half-human creature found in a West Virginia cave, and his struggle to be accepted by society, find true love...and stop drinking cow blood.

The New York Daily News called BAT BOY "outrageously silly and totally charming." Newsday said, "at the end of the show, you've been gleefully, outlandishly entertained." And the Star Ledger raved, "composed with smarts, staged with savvy and performed with gusto, BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is a winner. You'd be batty to miss it."
