Based on a story in The Weekly World News, this musical horror spoof is about a half-boy/half-bat creature. Rescued from a cave and taken in by the empathetic wife of the local veterinarian, "Edgar" quickly learns to speak and act in civilized ways even falling in love with his mentor's daughter. Danger looms, however, as we learn a deep, dark secret. Fast-paced and hilarious, this off-kilter satire offers clever musical numbers, a hilarious plot, surprising twists, and a lesson in the agony of being different and accepting your inner beast.

William Shakespeare’s jovial comedy centers on the aristocrats on the island of Illyria. Confusion reigns as mistaken identities and comic circumstances baffle the characters, but romance rules at the end of the day. It is noted as one of Shakespeare's most studied and best loved plays about the twin-based comedy of cross-dressing and mistaken identity, all the forms of love: misguided love, love conventions, self-love, and true love that wins through in the end.
