Wow... I like the singing and all... but breaking the personal moments to face the audience frickin' gets annoying. I feel like I'm watching a 3rd grade play where the kids only face out. Great actors, mediocre director.
Stellar stellar vocals - the stage direction is horrid, though. All the personal connection is gone - they just wander about and I don't find myself feeling for them at all in what should be a truly touching scene.
Nice vocals but who ever directed this did an awful job. Yes This is a cheesy musical idea but it is far more touching when these characters are not trying to "make sure the audience can see them" This is one of the most touching song of the show. But the impersonal blocking ruins the passion for this for me. This is when the actor needs to direct themselves and be smarter than the director.
@benjaminjkramer I am the bat boy of this production....and yeahhhhh I'm not gonna talk any crap, but the direction wasn't the best I've ever experienced. Read into that what you will. You're right, it is up to the actors to rise above crap directing though. Of course, I'm an English major and professional musician, not a musical theater actor. hahah
would be much more effective if the staging wasn't so purposeless and awkward, like the last 40 seconds where they kept holding each other facing the audience. Director choice, but it could have at least been smoothed out. Great voices though!

I LOVE the makeup on Bat Boy (Does that sound weird? lol) It looks really realistic. Is it a professional show?
