Kerry Butler, Alex Newell, Christopher Sieber, So Many More Join BAT BOY This Fall

This Three Bedroom House is about to get very exciting! Today, New York City Center has announced a bevy of adiitional casting to their upcoming Annual Gala presentation of Bat Boy: The Musical directed by Alex Timbers. 

Joining the previously announced Taylor Trensch will be Original Off-Broadway cast member Kerry Butler as Meredith Parker, along with Tony nominee Andrew Durand as Rick Taylor, Mary Faber as Lorraine, Alan H Green as Bud, Evan Harrington as Ned, John-Michael Lyles as Ron Taylor, Tony winner Alex Newell as The God Pan, Olivia Puckett as Ruthie Taylor, Tony nominee Christopher Sieber as Dr. Parker, Rema Webb as Maggie, and Tony winner Marissa Jaret Winokur as Mrs. Taylor. 

After being discovered in a cave and adopted by a local West Virginia family, Bat Boy, also known as Edgar, wants nothing more than to be accepted by his new community and works hard to appeal to their “Christian Charity.” But will his insatiable bloodlust be his undoing? Or will the bloodlust of a town searching for an easy scapegoat beat him to the punch? Inspired by a popular tabloid article from the 1990s, the musical gained cult classic status when it premiered Off-Broadway in 2001. Featuring a pulsing pop-rock score by Tony nominee Laurence O’Keefe with original orchestrations by Tony winner Alex Lacamoire, and book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming, this Gala Presentation shines fresh light on a beloved score with newly expanded orchestrations. 

The production features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Jennifer Moeller, lighting design by Justin Townsend, and sound design by Nevin Steinberg. 

Andrew Resnick serves as music director and Connor Gallagher will serve as choreographer.
