Bat Out of Hell description

Roaring back onto the London stage for a limited season in 2025, Bat Out of Hell The Musical blends rock anthems with an epic love story in a dazzling theatrical experience. Inspired by Meat Loaf's legendary album, this musical is a heart-pounding mix of romance and rebellion alongside iconic hits like "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and "I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)".

Bat Out of Hell The Musical - The Story

With music, lyrics and book by Jim Steinman Bat Out of Hell The Musical is a loose retelling of Peter Pan, however set in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan (now known as 'Obsidian'). The show follows Strat, the fearless leader of The Lost - a group of The Lost - a group of eternally young rebels. He falls in love Raven, the sheltered daughter of Falco, a ruthless tyrant who controls the city. Their forbidden romance drives them to defy Falco, who will do anything to keep his daughter under his control and crush the rebellious spirit of The Lost.
