Interview With a Bat Boy
Director of Professional Rights Robert Vaughan and Director of Publications Michael Fellmeth met with Bat Boy in the Palm Court of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan to talk about growing up in a cave in Hope Falls, West Virginia, Bat Boy: The Musical, and his rise to global celebrity as the lead in a hit show about his own life. The pointy-eared, fanged star arrived with an entourage of bodyguards, personal assistants, agent, lawyer and publicist.

Talkin' Broadway - Deven May on Show You A Thing or Two: The Music of Laurence O'Keefe
"I'm looking forward to doing Hightower because the material is really fun to sing. Trent (Armand Kendall, Off Broadway's Reverend Hightower) did such an incredible job of creating the character and the rehearsals for this weekend's show were really fun because I got to do some the things he did that I thought were so much fun when I saw him do the part...and expand upon them and make them my own, of course."

'Bat Boy' to the rescue
"Chances are, SpeakEasy Stage Company would have survived this year without ''Bat Boy: The Musical.'' But the scrappy 11-year-old South End theater troupe, which stages Boston premieres of edgy off-Broadway plays and musicals, is soaring thanks to the singular success of the show, an improbable musical comedy about a charismatic but bloodthirsty freak of nature who longs to be a normal boy."
