Bat Boy: The Musical: Ripped from “Headlines” Horror-Comedy
Long Beach Playhouse – Studio Theatre (Long Beach, CA)
Based on the infamous headline in the Weekly World News tabloid, this hilarious modern musical tells the story of a half-human/half-bat boy by the name of Edgar. Discovered in a West Virginia cave, the local sheriff brings Bat Boy to the home of the local veterinarian, where he’s accepted as a member of the family and taught how to act like a “normal” boy. But mayhem ensues as the town’s cows begin to fall victim to a mysterious plague… With its clever production numbers, infectious pop-rock score, surprising twists and a message about acceptance, this frightfully funny spoof is a classic love story with a wicked bite that’s part comic book, part horror flick — and all fun.
