Bat Out of Hell description

Jim Steinman's Bat Out of Hell: The Musical is back in theatreland to thrill audiences all over again with its epic rock anthems, futuristic plot and powerful story of obsessive love. Stacked with classic Meatloaf tunes, this dazzling show will rock your world.

About the Bat Out of Hell Musical

Expect romance, rebellion and awesome rock tunes in this iconic musical with book and lyrics by Jim Steinman.

The show loosely follows Peter Pan but is set in post-apocalyptic Manhattan, renamed Obsidian.

Strat, the fearless leader of a group of eternally young rebels called The Lost, falls in love with Raven. She’s the innocent daughter of the tyrannical Falco, who isn’t happy about the relationship, but their forbidden love is so powerful they decide to defy him. Will Falco keep his daughter under control and crush the rebellious spirit of The Lost? Or will true love triumph? The show is only in town for a limited run, so you can expect a packed auditorium.
