In 2004, the off-kilter American rock musical Bat Boy received its UK premiere at what was then called West Yorkshire Playhouse. A West End transfer seemed obvious and so it came to pass.
The same fate is unlikely for Lizard Boy, another US musical about a winged creature, which is likable, amusingly diverting, even sweet, but takes itself too seriously for a story which asks huge leaps of imagination from its audience.
