"You have to hand it to Neon Cactus Playhouse, a new theatre company in Phoenix, for their decision to present for their first production a relatively obscure musical which is also a show that's an unapologetic departure from traditional musicals. Bat Boy: The Musical is a campy satire. the unconventional nature of Bat Boy, which blends horror, drama, comedy, and satire into a campy mishmash of genres, unfortunately fails to coalesce into a cohesive narrative. You can't blame Neon Cactus for the deficiencies in the musical, and their cast literally throw themselves into their roles, but there are some shortcomings in the singing abilities of some of the cast."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
