The production captures the dystopian world of Obsidian, where a rebellious gang called The Lost can never grow old.
At the heart of the story is the fiery love affair between their leader, Strat, and Raven, the daughter of the city’s tyrannical ruler, Falco.
Audiences can expect a full-throttle spectacle as an eight-piece rock band brings some of Meat Loaf’s greatest hits to life, including I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That), Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Dead Ringer for Love, and the title track Bat Out of Hell.
With stunning multi-level staging and new production elements that transport audiences from a bedroom to the rebellious underground world of The Lost, this is an opportunity to find out why Bat Out Of Hell has been such a hit across the world.
