Bat Boy - The Musical

Work:: Bat Boy - The Musical (S01823151315)

After the reported capture of a live bat-child made the US headlines of Weekly World News, the cover story skyrocketed the popularity of that edition, making tabloid history and inspiring authors Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming together with composer and lyricist Laurence O'Keefe to create Bat Boy the Musical, which met with critical acclaim in the 2001 New York theatre season. A group of adventure seekers discover and capture an odd looking youth hiding in a west Virginia cave. Bringing him home to the townsfolk of Hope Falls both shocks and intrigues this sleepy community, setting the tone for a roller coaster journey which embraces fear, diversity, hope and love in equal measure of heart and humour.
