WORLD PREMIEREStarring Dan Fogler Oct. 1-20
Based on Executive Producer of the Batman films, Michael Uslan’s memoir of the same title, THE BOY WHO LOVED BATMAN is an inspirational comedy about one man’s vision that became a national phenomenon. It’s a crazy journey that goes from New Jersey to Hollywood, comic books to the silver screen. Every hero needs a hero.
Actor, comedian and writer Dan Fogler leads the cast, playing Michael Uslan during the first three weeks of the Tampa run of this brand-new production. He has appeared in numerous films including Balls of Fury, Fanboys and The Fantastic Beasts franchise. Fogler appeared on The Walking Dead as Luke, The Goldbergs as Uncle Marvin, and played Francis Ford Coppola in the biographical drama series, The Offer. He can be seen opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the Netflix limited series, Eric, and plays Bob Dylan’s manager, Albert Grossman, in A Complete Unknown this Christmas. In 2005, Fogler made his Broadway debut as William Barfée in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, for which he won the Tony Award® for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
The world premiere of THE BOY WHO LOVED BATMAN is a new play by Asa Somers, directed by Tony winner Jeff Calhoun (Newsies) with scenic design by Daniel Allen, projection design by Caite Hevner, lighting design by Mike Wood, sound design by Jeremy Douglass and costume design by Newt Rametta.
Paul Adam Schaefer, who recently was in the closing Broadway cast of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, joins the cast as Imaginary Friend. Katherine Yacko plays Nancy Uslan. Kelly Bashar, Nicholas Perez-Hoop and Hugh Timoney play multiple roles including Michael’s family members, Bill Finger, Stan Lee and others.
