University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance:
Bat Boy The Musical
The Encore welcomes back U-M’s prestigious School of Music, Theatre & Dance for their production of Bat Boy.
Based on “a true story” in The Weekly World News, this ridiculous, heartfelt musical comedy/horror show is about a half boy/half bat found in a cave in the hills of West Virginia. Bat Boy is taught to act like a “normal” boy, but will his happiness be shattered when the town discovers the shocking secret of his unholy origin? With infectious music and dark humor, this offbeat production challenges conventions and leaves audiences spellbound by its quirky charm.
Story and Book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming
Music and Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe
Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal | Music Directed by Jason DeBord | Choreography by Nicola Troschinetz
