In a West Virginia cave, three teenagers make a startling discovery: a feral “bat boy” – half-boy, half-bat – with a thirst for blood. Can he be educated and tamed enough to adapt to life in a small, rural town?
With a book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming, and music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe, this American horror rock musical was based on a 1992 tabloid story in the Weekly World News. Mirroring its hybrid title character, Bat Boy is part comedy, part romance, and part tragedy – giving Middlesex performers and their audiences the full spectrum of emotions to engage and process on two nights last May.
