Bat Boy - 2001 - Off-Broadway Articles Page 1

City Center's production of Bat Boy the Musical has recorded a new cast album! A new video shows Taylor Trensch (Bat Boy), Kerry Butler (Meredith Parker), Christopher Sieber (Dr. Parker), and Gabi Carrubba (Shelley Parker) in the recording studio.

It’s… Hairspray! BroadwayWorld is taking a look back at what the cast of this beloved musical has been up to since the show first graced the Broadway stage!

It wasn’t until later on in theatre history that revivals began including shows that weren’t initially well received or financially successful in their initial engagements. As musical theatre continued to evolve, and more shows entered the canon, a consensus began to grow about shows being worthy of additional exploration even if they hadn’t been hits the first time around. What about musicals that had been ahead of their time, musicals that had fallen prey to circumstances, early works by writers who became successful later on, and of course, shows that found an audience after closing via their cast recordings?

Bat Boy: The Musical is now running at New York City Center, featuring several brand-new songs and revised book by the original creators. See what the critics are saying here...
