Gotham Rogues: The Unauthorized Batman Parody Musical is a darkly hilarious comic book–opera that plunges into the twisted minds—and musical numbers—of Gotham’s most notorious villains. When Batman is captured and put on trial inside Arkham Asylum, the rogues seize their moment to settle scores, spill their trauma, and steal the spotlight. With a razor-sharp book by Paul Iacono (with additional material by Marc Kudisch and Barrett Leddy), direction by Rachel Klein, music direction by Peter Saxe, and lyrics by Iacono set to the iconic score of Shirley Walker, Danny Elfman, and the composers of Batman: The Animated Series—this bold, cabaret-noir spectacle dares to ask: in a city of masks, who are the rogues… and who are the heroes?
