Bat Out Of Hell

From Mon 10 Feb 2025 View Venues, Dates & Times

A jukebox musical set in a dystopian future and positively awash with greatest hits from an impressive back-catalogue, Bat Out Of Hell is not to be confused with Queen’s stage blockbuster We Will Rock You, which can be pretty much summed up in exactly the same way.

Premiered in 2017, the Jim Steinman/Meat Loaf extravaganza is heavy on rock music and light on plot - which is yet another thing it has in common with We Will Rock You. 

The story is a loose retelling of Peter Pan and unfolds in a Manhattan of the future - one which has been turned into a desolate wasteland and is lorded over by a ruthless dictator named Falco. The evil tyrant is determined to rebuild the city by destroying disused tunnels and subways which have become residential areas for the homeless community. But a group of kids whose DNA is permanently frozen - meaning they will be 18 years of age forever - are equally determined to thwart his dastardly plans... 

Featured hits include I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That), Paradise By The Dashboard Light, Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, Dead Ringer For Love, and of course, Bat Out Of Hell.­
