There won’t be a proper musical in any of its theaters until “Moulin Rouge” returns in November, but a world premiere is in line for the first show of the season. “The Boy Who Loved Batman,” a new, Asa Somers-penned comedy, is based on the autobiography of Michael Uslan, an executive producer on just about every piece of Batman-related cinema since the original 1989 film, including “Joker: Folie à Deux,” which releases this week.
For the first three weeks of its run, “Balls of Fury” star Dan Fogler (who was just in town for Tampa Bay Comic Con) will portray Uslan himself in his upbringing and ventures into bringing the face of DC comics to the silver screen. According to reps at the Straz Center, the goal is to get the show to Broadway in the next few years, and while it’s not quite Morsani Hall-level just yet, the show will hold down the more compact Jaeb Theater for 48 consecutive shows until November 10.
Tickets to see “The Boy Who Loved Batman” at Tampa’s Straz Center for the Performing Arts starting Tuesday, Oct. 1 are still available and start at $75.
