It's a musical based on a series of tabloid "news" stories: "Bat Boy: The Musical" will open in two days at Edison Valley Playhouse.A group of spelunking West Virginian teenagers discover Bat Boy, a half-man, half-bat creature, near Hope Falls. For lack of a better solution, the local sheriff brings him to the home of the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker, where he is eventually accepted as a member of the family, named "Edgar," and taught to act like a "normal" boy by the veterinary surgeon's wife, Meredith, and teenage daughter, Shelley. Edgar is happy with his new life, but when he naively tries to fit in with the narrow-minded people of Hope Falls, they turn on him, prodded by the machinations of Dr. Parker, who secretly despises Edgar. He and Shelley, who have fallen in love, run away together from the ignorant townsfolk and have a blissful coupling in the woods. Their happiness is shattered, however, when Meredith arrives and reveals the dark story of his unholy origin.
The show features Hussain Aziz, Aaron Bogdanovsky, Justin DePaul, Katie Hilosky, Adam Korner, Teresa Mota, Mark Piltz Jr., Steven Switzer, Rachel Valovcin, and Samantha Vargas. It is directed by Christopher J. Guell.
