Does anyone know?
I still think it's a great idea.
Why did the film adaptation of Bat Boy get discontinued?

The show is a very odd piece. Maybe the powers that be thought it might be a tough sell.

One of my favorite scores in the last 20 years. I still listen to it in my car, especially the end of act one, "Comfort and Joy."
Deven May? Love him. He didn't disappear, just did "Jersey Boys" for seven years (and good for him). I'd like to see him in something else new.

I liked Deven May, I liked the score, but I must say I found the show to be creepy.

"Comfort & Joy" is my fave too.

Saw the show at Union Square and in London (where, with a different director, it was diffuse, flabby, and humorless). I enjoyed much of it in NY, but it's a very uneven/inconsistent show, and the London production showed that much of what I enjoyed earlier was due to the NY cast, director., and designers, rather than the material. "Three Bedroom House" is the only song in the score that I find to be completely successful.

I feel like this is one that would actually work better as a film, where it can go for all the stuff the material is a pastiche of.
Really good score.

Funny that you bring this up. I have an acquaintance who runs his own horror/dark comedy film company, and I told him long ago that his group could have a lot of fun with Bat Boy. I wish he'd pursue it and let me be on the creative production team!
