Posted: 6/26/07 at 2:11pmIs there any truth in the Batboy - movie musical? God I hope so! It would lend itself so well to the medium of film. The show is perfectly constucted. How did O'Keefe **** up Legally Blonde so bad (there are one or two good songs)? But seriously, what was with the song "Serious". So bad. Oh Jerry Mitchell - hang up your point shoes. Anyhoo...Batboy?

People here can be very catty. Only the strong survive. . .
But welcome! There are nice people!
I love "Bat Boy," too and I'm fine with every musical being made into a movie. =)

The movie has been shelfed as far as I know.
It's not on IMDB anymore.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I thought they were gonna keep Deven May for the film, but maybe he is getting too old...and he seems busy with Jersey Boys in LA (or wherever).
IMHO, gyllenhaal is too old too.

LA for now, but not much longer.

Hi Danni--
Yeah, I agree it would lend itself well to film. I've heard some ideas they've been tossing around about how to adapt it best, and yeah... if done well, it could be pretty awesome. As far as I know, it's on the backburners for now, but it could still happen. If it does, it won't be for quite a while yet.

Dear Ken,
I'm in pieces. Why the cold shoulder?
