Bat Boy Musical at The Gem - Vintage Theater Behind the Scenes

The Gem Theater in Garden Grove has been staging live shows for 107 years. We spent a rehearsal day backstage with One More Productions as they prepared Bat Boy: The Musical, to find out how a historic neon-marquee theater keeps its doors open. We tour the workshop, the costume room, and the Art Deco lounges, then hear from the cast and crew about a quick turnaround after Sweeney Todd, a show most people have never seen, and the balance between art and commerce. 🎟️ Bat Boy tickets: https://www.thegemoc.com/shows/bat-boy 🎭 The Gem Theater: https://www.thegemoc.com/ 🎭 Instagram:   / ompatthegem   Huge thanks to Nicole, Damien, and the cast and crew for letting us crash their rehearsal. 00:00 Cold open 01:19 Bat Boy Explained 02:24 Welcome to The Gem 06:17 Many hats 08:16 Bat Boy 11:33 Quick turnaround 13:11 The Gem family 14:39 Art vs. commerce We’re Stage Fright Theater Co., and we cover spooky live entertainment year-round: haunted attractions, immersive theatre, and indie productions, reviewed the same way we’d review a stage production.
