Starring Deven May as 'Bat Boy', it is directed by Mark Wing-Davey and designed by Madeline Herbert.

It is based on actual events as reported in The Weekly World News. 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 this roller coaster musical-comedy.

The show is described as somewhere between Edward Scissorhands and My Fair Lady - a classic love story with a bite!

"Bat Boy The Musical" opened to critical acclaim Off-Broadway in 2001, winning both the Outer Critics' Circle and Lucille Lortel Awards for 'Best Musical'.
