Just posted on Instagram from an official Bat Boy account in collab with City Center.

Could it just be a teaser for the album?
Feels unwise to move it to Broadway or even commercial off Broadway. But ATG is producing so they can kind of do what they want.

I don't think they would utilize a unique and otherwise unused IG account created in 2022 just for a cast album. Also it's been commented on by Creative Goods and shared by some marketing folks from AKA.

It’s transferring.

The production was too polished. Even the metal cage looked too strong and sturdy. It’s supposed to be a makeshift wooden cage they throw him in. A community theater production of Bat Boy I saw a couple years ago in a dingy broke down space with non professional actors was absolute chaos/perfection for a show like this. The city center production also missed the mark on the campy quality of the show. It’s one of the few musicals that is truly better in an underground environment.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but didn't this show have hard time selling tickets? It was on TDF throughout its entire run. The premise of the show sounded really weird so I didn't see it.

The only reason I imagine this would transfer is to market it for broader licensing along with an album. But I agree on paper this is a solidly horrible idea. Maybe they go to NWS?

Commercial Broadway? Yikes.

O'Keefe made a bunch of changes for this production, nearly all for the worse. Really wish they'd revert back to the original for this.
