Music reviews of Bat Boy (2001 Original Off-Broadway Cast)
Music Review: Great and Original!!
Rating: 4 Stars
I picked up this soundtrack because I will be in the musical this fall, and hadn't heard of it before a month ago. I was very pleasently surprised by the dark humor, and the sometimes upbeat, somtimes haunting tracks. Tracks like "A Home for You," "Comfot and Joy" and "Three Bedroom House" show the large range of genre this musical encompasses. There is so much to enjoy with this soundtrack, and kept me enthralled through the whole thing. I was also happy to see that the soundtrack does not ruin any surprises about the musical itself, but a listener who is unfamiliar with the show can still enjoy it.
The only thing that bothers me about this soundtrack is that there are many lyrical changes in the soundtrack. (I hate that.) But I would say that this is an original, enjoyable and engrossing soundtrac. It will make you want to see the show live.
Description of Bat Boy (2001 Original Off-Broadway Cast)
As far as we know, Bat Boy is the only musical to have been inspired by a headline in the Weekly World News tabloid. It tells the story of, well, a bat boy (complete with pointy ears) found in a West Virginia cave. Adopted by the family of the town's vet, Edgar--as he comes to be known--actually goes on to acquire an education and even falls in love with the vet's daughter, all the while struggling to keep his blood thirst under control. Things end tragically--unsurprisingly, interspecies romance is still battling considerable prejudice in this country. Composer-lyricist Laurence O'Keefe came up with catchy songs that owe a lot to late 1960s and early '70s rock musicals such as Godspell and even The Rocky Horror Show. Skillfully walking the thin line between over-the-top camp and actual emotion, O'Keefe has written a wonderful little musical that cleverly deals with issues of difference and community values. As weird as it sounds, we foresee quite a future for Bat Boy in amateur productions. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
