Bat Boy: The Musical

Venue 6 – Tom Hendry Theatre at the MTC Warehouse

 

Poor Edgar, he’s just a regular boy who wants all the things any other boy could want - love, a family, a job and a life.  Problem is Edgar isn’t just like every other boy; he’s a Bat Boy!  Even though this 105 minute show is long by Fringe standards, it flies by quicker than expected.  I found this show to be a great spoof on the Weekly World News photo of the infamous Bat Boy.  The music was fun and catchy, the performances were strong and over the top, as they should be.  There were some absolutely hilarious bits in this show such as the Lion King nature scene.  Cute and fun, this show will win over any Weekly World News fan; however, if you do not find the Weekly World News funny, then this is probably not the show for you.
