Bat Boy Musical Tickets

Shake things up with an alternative type of musical when you purchase Bat Boy tickets. The rock musical is based on the book by Keythe Farley and Brian Fleming, with lyrics and music composed by Laurence O’Keefe. The storyline was originally inspired by the 1992 story entitled “Bat Boy”, which was published in the Weekly World News about a half-bat half-boy being who grew up living in a cave. The musical had its premiere in 1997 at the Actors’ Gang Theatre. 

Since then, it has been produced at some of the biggest theatres around the world, including as an off-Broadway show, at the Edinburgh Festival, and in London’s West End. Those who enjoy a good horror-comedy should check out Bat Boy tickets, as this is one unique musical you will not want to miss out on. The story is set in Hope Falls, Va., where the local sheriff’s department discovers Bat Boy living in a nearby cave. He was then transported to veterinarian Dr. Parker for examination, eventually becoming a member of the family. 

The veterinarian’s wife, Meredith, and their daughter, Shelley, both teach Bat Boy how to live up to societal standards. Though he tries his best to fit in, the townspeople soon turn on him and he flees with Shelley, who had fallen in love with him. Upon its initial release, it received widespread critical acclaim. Most notably, it won a Lucille Lotrel Award for “best off-Broadway musical”, two Richard Rodgers Awards, and an Outer Critics Circle Award. Popular songs in the musical include “Hold Me, Bat Boy”, “Christian Charity”, and “Ugly Boy.”
