Batboy: The Musical To Fly Into The Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

From the composer of Legally Blonde the musical (Laurence O’Keefe), comes a love story that gives a little bite to the summer season. City centre based theatre company What We Did Next is bringing their latest production to Unity Theatre, the comedy-horror Batboy: the Musical from Wednesday 5th till Saturday 8th June.

The story concerns a supernatural creature, half bat/half boy, who is discovered in a cave in the American south and brought to the home of local veterinarian Dr. Parker. The Parker family takes him in and teaches him to behave as a normal human, attempting to integrate him into a narrow-minded town. As he tries to fit in, romantic sparks fly and he decides to run away with the veterinarian’s daughter, Shelley. However happiness is shattered as the town hears the shocking story of Bat Boy’s unholy origin.
