Swan song for “Bat Boy” at ArtsWest tonight

Bat Boy hand.jpgAfter more than a month at ArtsWest, “Bat Boy” flies off into the night following two more shows tonight (7:30 and 11 pm; tickets available online). Throughout the run, local theatergoers have continued to stream in; we got this unsolicited rave just yesterday from a WSB regular: “We saw it last night, my first experience at ArtsWest. It’s totally over the top and perhaps a little edgy for some folks around these parts (not me, but I was enjoying the reactions from some audience members almost as much as the show) but still hilarious and very entertaining.” It’s drawn reviews from this one in the Weekly (second item) to this one in the P-I to this one at the youth-edited site teen tix. After tonight’s “Bat Boy” finales, ArtsWest moves on to more traditional holiday fare, with O. Henry’s “The Gifts of the Magi” opening December 5th … although we have to say, “Bat Boy” in a Santa hat might have been a hoot. (“Bat Boy” photo by Matt Durham, courtesy ArtsWest.)

    I absolutely loved Bat Boy – we saw it soon after it opened. The theatre is great too – I feel really fortunate to live so close to a theatre that gets great quality plays for really reasonable prices. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of their season.

Sorry, comment time is over.
