BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL(REVIVAL)

Revival

October 28 – November 13, 2011 – Illusion Theater

Music and Lyrics – Laurence O’Keefe
Story and Book – Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming

MMT’s area premiere of BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL was an instant hit (and named the Best Musical of the Year by the Star Tribune).  Returning to the Twin Cities for the first time, this musical horror spoof – based on a story in The Weekly World News about a half-boy/half-bat creature – has had audiences rolling in the aisles since its critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway premiere.  Rescued from a cave and taken in by the empathetic wife of the local veterinarian, “Edgar” quickly learns to speak and act in civilized ways – even falling in love with his mentor’s daughter.  Danger looms, however, as we learn a deep, dark secret.  Fast-paced and hilarious, this off-kilter satire offers clever musical numbers, a hilarious plot, surprising twists, and a lesson in the agony of being different and accepting your inner beast!
