“Smart, playful, funny… A giggling cult hit.”
- NY Magazine

The tuneful and terrific Bat Boy is unlike any musical you’ve ever seen. When a half-bat, half-human creature is discovered in a cave outside of a small town, one family steps in to adopt him and raise him as their own. But the townsfolk are suspicious, and begin to blame their recent troubles on the pointy-eared newcomer. What’s a singing, dancing bat-boy to do? From Los Angeles to New York to London, the hilarious Bat Boy has been a cult hit where ever it’s played. There’s no better way to celebrate the Halloween season than with Bat Boy at the Altarena.

[Due to adult situations and liberal use of stage blood, Bat Boy is not recommended for children under 13.]
