I was wondering if anyone's seen Bat Boy...and if they have, is it good?

I've seen an amateur production of it, and it is AMAZING! I have the cast recording (not soundtrack, lol) and script. I recommend it to anyone because, even though it has a somewhat strange premise, the characters and plot are developed very well, and the music is really great. Go Bat Boy!

Yes.

On the other hand, I found it silly and boring and the music amateurish. To each his (or her) own.

The New York production was excellent - I haven't laughed that hard in years.

I love the cd, there are some great numbers such as comfort & joy, Show You a Thing or Two and Inside Your Heart

I love the music, and have never seen the show. I may go to London, however, and if I do, I'm taking a trip to wherever Deven is currently playing Bat Boy.

I have seen the show, it's not one of my favorite but it is a very fun show and I play the cast recording all the time. I like it because it is so bizar, it's strange and interesting different lol.

Bat Boy WooT! Bat Boy is like, one of the best non-Sondheim or JRB musicals ever. Yes it's weird, yeah, it's not exactly mainstream, but it's really, really, good. Umm, that's it.

Bat Boy was fabulous. I saw it thrice on stage and loved every second of it.

The 1st time I saw Batboy I knew nothing about it. Needless to say after the first bite I had to see it 2 more times. Every single person in that cast was incredible. It's nice now to see a show and see a familiar face from that show. Kerry Butler in Hairspray and then in LSOH. Kaitlin Hopkins as the mom in Bare. I'm so glad I got the poster signed by the entire cast - just another prized possession.

Shame about 9/11, Bat Boy would have lived significantly longer.

I didn't get to see "Bat Boy" when it was Off Broadway but I had the extreme pleasure of being in a production of it last fall at my university. It was one of the most amazing theatrical experiences I've ever had. I just love the music, the characters, and the themes and stuff. Comfort and Joy is definitely my favorite song on the recording, but the big opening number was my favorite to perform. We even got chosen to perform at the American College Theatre Festival!! Devon May called me (he's a friend of a friend) and left a good luck message on my voice mail for me and my cast during our run...which was very sweet and extremely exciting! :o)

I'm sure the Off Broadway production would have enjoyed a long run downtown had it not been for the events of 9/11. I find it to be very contemporary and edgey, I really love that it's so unlike anything I've ever seen/heard before.

DON'T DENY YOUR BEAST INSIDE!

PS I have a great picture of my cast on our set but have no idea how to insert an image
