The University of Michigan’s renowned School of Music, Theatre & Dance travels to Dexter for the next two weeks for a special production of Bat Boy: The Musical, running from October 10–20, 2024 at The Encore Theatre. See photos from the production.

Directed by Vincent J. Cardinal,  music directed by Jason DeBord (the original Off-Broadway production of Bat Boy: The Musical) and choreographed by U-M senior, Nicola Troschinetz.

Based on a “true story” in the tabloid “The Weekly World News”, Bat Boy: The Musical is a ridiculous, heartfelt comedy/horror musical about a half bat/half boy found in a cave in the hills of West Virginia. With infectious music and dark humor, this offbeat production challenges conventions and leaves audiences spellbound by its quirky charm. A cult favorite, the show explores themes of acceptance, prejudice, and humanity with a rock-infused score. 

The show’s original creative team—book writers Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming, and composer/lyricist Laurence O'Keefe (Broadway’s Legally Blonde, and off-Broadway’s cult classic Heathers: The Musical)—are implementing never-before-seen updates to the piece, giving this production an exclusive fresh take on the musical.

Tickets are available online at www.theencoretheatre.org or by calling the box office at (734) 268-6200. Ticket prices range from $28-$57, with $20 student and theatre industry rush tickets at the door (subject to availability).
