The Batshits are a 90’s goth punk band on the edge of stardom, hustling to stand out in a male-dominated and wickedly capitalist music industry. After a particularly awful show their crusty van breaks down and they end up at a Halloween party that never ends. Together, the Riot Grrrls must figure out how to break the curse and free themselves from the perpetual party.
The Batshits: Halloween Never Dies is a brand new musical commissioned by Atomic Vaudeville with music and concepts by Hank Pine (Punch & Judy, Hank & Lily Band) and book by Becky Johnson (Baroness Von Sketch).
In November 2023 we staged a workshop production at the Roxy Theatre. Donate to our crowdfunding campaign if you wanna see The Batshits in a full scale production!
