In the case of Bat Boy , I think Bat Boy poses that people can be really, really stupid indeed. Yeah, that was one of the themes I came away with. The main theme of the show, that we were trying to espouse, or at least pretend we were espousing, or fool people into believing we were espousing, was Don t deny your beast inside. That s the last line of the show. The theme of the show might just as well be All human effort is futile.
People are dumb.
That s a very good sign. They have to buy tickets on top of the tickets being bought by the heavily pierced people. I think that bodes well. It sort of seems to have an ecumenical appeal. Your standard New York theater-going audience seems to like it, as well as your heartless club kids who like to see blood.
