| | Metroactive Stage 'Bat Boy' |
 | | Coincidentally, Bat Boy, the musical black comedy about the life of Bat Boy, the famed half-bat, half-boy subject of many Weekly World News exclusives ("Bat Boy Falls Head Over Heels in Love," "Escaped Bat Boy Sighted in Texas"), is presented as rather tragic, much the way the Gore vs. Bush election process turned out. |
 | | Ultimately, Bat Boy explores the difficult life of an imperfect being who wants to fit in and be loved in a culture that aims to deny its imperfections. |
 | | O'Keefe refuses to discuss "the real" Bat Boy because "I'm still paying off medical bills, and Bat Boy knows where I live." He notes, however, that the producers recommend an aisle seat be kept available for Bat Boy at every show. |
