Ripped from the headlines of the Weekly World News, Batboy: The Musical is a cult hit about a half-boy, half-bat discovered in a cave. This campy, satirical twist on the modern musical comedy tells the amazing story of a strange boy with pointy ears, his struggle to find a place in a world that shuns him, and the love that can create both miracles and madness. Hailed by the New York Times as “darkly funny, but curiously touching”, Bat Boy contains a driving, upbeat score, featuring rock, rap, and other musical styles. Director Kaitlin Hopkins was a Drama Desk nominee for originating the role of “Meredith”  in the 2001 New York production.

In the spirit of the USO, on Tuesday, November 10, the Department of Theatre and Dance will host 300 soldiers from Fort Hood for a special preview performance. In addition, country music legend, Larry Gatlin of the Gatlin Brothers will also be attending in support of the troops and our new musical theatre program.
