Bat Boy Bat Boy: The Musical The play Bat Boy: The Musical is the product of an historic alliance between the Weekly World News and three authors from Los Angeles. This wonderful production combines the journalism of the Weekly World News with the power of song. It’s a creative theatrical production based on the alleged sightings of a mysterious “bat child”, half-boy and half-bat, reported by tabloid newspapers. The protagonist of the production is the Bat Boy. We see him go through many changes throughout the course of the play. In the beginning he appears as a scared and strange creature. He then transforms into what he sees to be a regular boy, but reality comes back to him quickly as he realizes he will never be a typical human boy. I felt that the antagonist of the play was Dr. Thomas Parker. It’s difficult for me to make a choice on this because everyone at one time or another was opposing the Bat Boy. The play was communicated through many different elements. Dialogue was presented with spoken language in sometimes extreme ways.
