ABOUT THE SHOW
Half-bat, half-boy, ripped from the tabloid headlines and thrust into the spotlight!
In the camp horror comedy "BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL" from Brian Flemming and Keythe Farley, a misunderstood monster seeks a place to belong.
Taken in by a veterinarian, endeared to his adopted sister Shelly, and reviled by the locals, mild-mannered “Edgar” searches fiercely for a place he can truly be himself.
Set to an eclectic pop-rock score by Laurence O'Keefe ("Legally Blonde," "Heathers the Musical"), Edgar’s wild journey is a hilarious satire and an offbeat fable for the outsider in all of us.
