  • THE MUSICAL is smart, silly, and full of heart. Its expansive and inclusive ideas are not preached, they are sown. And it is another home run from the ever-reliable Open Fist Theatre Company.

The review of "Bat Boy: The Musical" at Open Fist Theatre Company, published on March 4, 2025, by BroadwayWorld, highlights the production's unique blend of horror, humor, and heart. The story revolves around Edgar, a half-boy, half-bat creature, who is discovered in a cave and attempts to integrate into a small-town community. The review praises the show for its campy, over-the-top style, with particular commendation for the performances, especially by Michael Holmes as Edgar, whose portrayal captures both the character's monstrous and human qualities. The production's use of minimalistic sets and costumes, along with the energetic direction by Scott Peterman, enhances the show's quirky and satirical tone. The musical numbers are noted for their catchy tunes and clever lyrics, contributing to the overall fun and engaging experience. The review concludes by recommending "Bat Boy" as a must-see for those who appreciate dark comedy and unconventional musical theatre.
