A Bat Boy question

Several articles I've read about Deven May and pictures I've seen of the show have shown Edgar with a shaved head (not very attractive, but I guess it works and makes sense for the character).

Well, since bway.com has started putting up old videos, I found, to my delight, this one: http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Video.aspx?ci=505818 entitled 'Bat Boy flies Off-Broadway'. It shows an Edgar with a full head of hair, spiffy dress shirt instead of a wifebeater, etc. I *like* classy, full-haired Edgar.

I was just wondering: did hottie-well-dressed-Edgar or shaved-head-Edgar show up on the stage during the show? Personally, I think the really neat clothes and the hair make him look classier and also make me fall in love with him even more.

Thanks...

im pretty sure he had a shaved head. thats how he is in all the pictures i've seen, and im pretty sure thats how it is in the booklet in the front of the cast recording.

That's what I'd thought, too! That's why the video confused me so much. :) Thanks.

To avoid making a new thread I'll just ask here.

In the video and recording the reverand is obviously male. But in the toronto cast it is a female. Is there a reason?

BAT BOY! With the role of Shelley originated off-Broadway by the one-and-only Kerry Butler!

I apologize. I saw the words "BAT BOY" and immediately thought "Kerry Butler" and I had to give her the props she deserves.

*PROPS*

Okay, I'm done.
