Bat Boy: The Musical is an American rock musical with its book written by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming and Lawrence O'Keefe doing its music and lyrics. It's a musical production loosely based on the exploits of the Weekly World News regular, "Bat Boy".In the town of Hope Falls, West Virginia, three kids, Rick, Ron, and Ruthie, are spelunking when they discover a deformed kid in the cave. The kid injures Ruthie but Ron and Rick manage to subdue it and bring it to the town's sheriff, who brings Bat Boy over to Meredith and Shelley Parker, who agree to keep him until Meredith's husband, veterinarian Dr. Parker, returns home. Meredith and Shelley try to tame the creature whom Meredith names Edgar, but when the town of Hope Falls suddenly discover their cows mysteriously dying, eventually blaming Bat Boy, and Dr. Parker planning to put the creature down, any effort Shelley and Meredith take to dispel the fears surrounding Bat Boy and integrate it into society may be easier said than done...Ever since its first premiere in 1997, this musical has since been produced and performed off-Broadway, in London's West End and in worldwide scores and showings.Not to be confused with Batman. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Bat Boy: The Musical (Theatre) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Meredith and Dr. Parker don't reveal that Meredith is Edgar's biological mother until the climax of the story. Their motivations for keeping this secret are more sympathetic than most examples of the trope, but if that information had been revealed earlier, the ending Meredith fantasizes about in "Three Bedroom House" could have actually happened. | |

Villain Song | |
| Bat Boy: The Musical (Theatre) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: "Dance With Me, Darling" for Dr. Parker as he sings about his relation with Meredith. Dr. Parker's parts in "Comfort and Joy" expresses his desire to get rid of Bat Boy. "Apology to a Cow" for Edgar, where he vows to get revenge on those who've hurt him. "Find/Kill the Bat Boy" for Dr. Parker and the townsfolk as they rally to kill Bat Boy. "I Imagine You're Upset" is partly an Angry Mob Song for the townsfolk, and Dr. Parker has a Villainous Lament towards the end. "Whatcha Wanna Do Tonight?" for Rick as he threatens Bat Boy for harming his sister Ruthie. "Mrs. Taylor's Lullaby" for Mrs. Taylor, who sings Ruthie to sleep promising her that she'll have Bat Boy killed. | |

Belief Makes You Stupid: Every townsperson in the show practices the Christian faith and use it to help them fend off any evil, but it blinded their judgement on Bat Boy and it never stopped their cows from dying especially since the cows were raised on the side of a mountain with little oxygen and water to go by. Highlighted in "Christian Charity" where Sheriff Reynolds wants to take action to contain the potential threat Bat Boy might pose, but decides to spare him and let the Parkers take him in due to his beliefs. | |

Cross-Cast Role | |
| Bat Boy: The Musical (Theatre) / int_985d3ad0 | comment |
Crosscast Role: Many of the characters crossdress due to the small cast and need to differentiate characters played by the same actor from one another, but the most obvious crossdressing character is Mrs. Taylor, which is always a drag role Played for Laughs. | |

"AND DON'T KILL MRS. TAYLOR'S KIDS!": Never kill any children. It will only cause grief to their parents. Mrs. Taylor lost all of her children over the course of the musical. Ruthie died by a lethal injection from Dr. Parker, Rick perished by a combination of getting injured by Bat Boy and receiving a lethal injection from Dr. Parker, and Ron was burned to death with smoke inhalation when Mrs. Taylor herself lit the slaughterhouse, thinking Bat Boy was in there. As a result, Mrs. Taylor is left grieving over the loss of her remaining child, having lost him after losing Ruthie and Ron earlier. | |

Forgiveness | |
| Bat Boy: The Musical (Theatre) / int_b75b35ac | comment |
"Forgive": If anyone does you any wrong, you should turn the other cheek and let bygones be bygones. The Taylors did not forgive Bat Boy for injuring Ruthie and wanted revenge on him. Rick gets attacked by Bat Boy in return (albeit motivated by the sight of blood). Ron also dies trying to find and kill Bat Boy in the slaughterhouse, with his own mother burning him to death thinking he was Bat Boy. Dr. Parker also did not forgive Meredith over a triviality either, causing the vet to plot revenge against Bat Boy and become the musical's Serial Killer. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: Faith healer Billy Hightower is actually one of the play's most levelheaded characters, being an enthusiastic practicer of the Christian faith and almost immediately accepting Bat Boy once he expresses his desire to integrate into society and live with his fellow townsfolk. There's also Sheriff Reynolds, who tries to protect Bat Boy, wants to avoid giving him in to an institute, and keeps telling the townsfolk not to shoot him. | |
