Octave Theatre Presents
Bat Boy: the Musical
A classic love story with a serious bite! This delicious twist on the modern day musical comedy tells the amazing story of a strange boy with pointy ears, his struggle to find a place in a world that shuns him, and the love that can create both miracles and madness.’
‘Darkly funny – curiously touching.’ This is how The Times described this wonderfully colourful musical – a tragic tale that deals with heavy themes such as hypocrisy, alienation, racism and scapegoating, but often punctures the most serious moments with slapstick, surrealism and irony.
Octave Theatre’s 2008 show will be presented by the Guild Award-nominated production team of Rebecca Holcdorf (director) and Jonathan Skovron (musical director), and will feature the sensational Scott Mackenzie alongside a fabulous cast of young, talented performers. Don’t miss out on this wildly entertaining and deeply moving masterpiece of musical theatre!

After getting a divorce from C.K. Dexter Haven, Tracy Lord prepares to marry again… however, in the days before her wedding, Haven and a reporter, posing as her brother’s friend, show up at her doorstep. From there, Tracy is forced to choose among her past love, her present love and her new love. Amidst the situation comedy, and fast-paced dialogue, Barry explores several contemporary social issues, such as society’s perception of class differences in America and attitudes towards adultery and divorce in the 1930’s.
