About

BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL Story and Book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming Music and Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe Bat Boy: The Musical is a hilarious, heartfelt horror-comedy about a half-bat half-boy trying to fit into a judgmental town. Expect campy humor, a killer score, and a wild ride from start to finish! Inspired on a ridiculous tabloid story from the pages of the legendary Weekly World News, Bat Boy: The Musical is a comedy/horror show about a half-boy/half-bat creature who is discovered in a cave near Hope Falls, West Virginia. For lack of a better solution, the local sheriff brings Bat Boy to the home of the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker, where he is eventually accepted as a member of the family and taught to act like a “normal” boy by the veterinarian’s wife, Meredith, and teenage daughter, Shelley. Bat Boy is happy with his new life, but when he naively tries to fit in with the narrow-minded people of Hope Falls, trouble begins! You don’t need to be a fan of the original urban legend to love this show. If you like comedy mixed with a bit of horror and rock music, welcome to Hope Falls! You don’t even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun… this show is for you. Is it scary? No! Is it gory ? No! ... well, maybe a tiny bit. But it is pure comedy start to finish.
