An adults-only theatrical experience, Bat Boy: The Musical was inspired by a series of 1992 headlines in the tabloid The Weekly World News claiming that a terrifying creature, half-man and half-bat, had been discovered in a cave, escaped, and was terrorizing local dairy farmers. The beat-driven rock score pays homage to rock musicals of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Behind the lurid headlines, Bat Boy provides a compelling theatrical metaphor for the dangers of prejudice and provincialism; the blood, guts and occasional implied sex mean the kids should sit this one out.
