Bat Out of Hell description
The Dominion Theatre is the venue for a show that's set to rock your world. If you love Meat Loaf's unique musical style in all its humorous, loud and proud glory, you'll never forget this particularly big night out. Bat Out of Hell features more than twenty massive songs from the Loaf, set to a plot that'll have your heart racing ten to the dozen. Huge fun, eagerly anticipated, don't miss it!
Bat Out Of Hell is inspired by the albums of the same name, with tunes by the brilliant songwriter Jim Steinman and Jay Scheib at the helm. It's no surprise it has made it to the stage, joining a host of music industry stars whose songs have been immortalised in top class musicals.
In a way it's surprising it took so long for Steinman and Meatloafs' extraordinary rock opera to make it to the stage. It's been on Steinman's mind for some time, by all accounts, so it's fantastic to finally see it on the way to the West End.
Bat Out of Hell – The story
Expect twenty or more classics from the Loaf, woven into a story you'll revel in. Are you ready to rock? The story goes like this: young Strat is stuck in a post-apocalyptic world and he'd do anything for love. Being madly passionate about the mad dictator Falco's daughter is a risky business – will romance win the day?
The musical knits together classic tunes from all three Bat Out of Hell albums, a plot that does full justice to the music's power, drama and massive electric charge.
Expect plenty of singing and dancing to spice up the action, and plenty of humour too – a staple of the personality behind the music. By all account Meat Loaf is a very funny man, and while the fine details of this hit-in-the-making of a musical are yet to be revealed, the signs are looking good. Very good.
Best of all, the word on the streets is there'll be a few brand new Steinman songs to add to the classics we all know and love. If your idea of a great night out includes top music plus themes of love and loss, you've got it. There might even be the occasional motorbike on stage. You'll have to wait and see!

I attended the Bat Out of Hell show on December 19th 2018 with my wife, having already seen the production with my daughter in August. I simply HAD to bring my wife up from Brighton to see the show and could barely wait for her to see it over those four months. Fantastic vocal performances by all principle characters, great stage production, wonderful musical direction and so very moving that we were both reduced to tears during and even after the show. I cannot recommend this show highly enough and thank Jim Steinman for the incredible music which inspired it.

Wow, the singing and the music was incredible - the live orchestra amazing. Although the story is a little cheesy I think quite a clever weaving together of the Meat Loaf songs where they all make sense within the storyline: clever writing. The singing was incredible. How these performers so this every night or even more is just crazy. Go see it before it goes off. Such a shame it is finishing. Maybe it was put into a theatre that was too big. It is a great theatre and I hope it gets put on to a smaller one somewhere else or what a waste!

I simply love this show. On seven occasions I have been privileged to see this wonderful cast, listen to the outstanding musicians and watch the unbelievable production. On each of those seven visits I have been in awe at the commitment that the personnel involved show in entertaining those lucky enough to be present. I have tickets for the final show on the 5th January, but I may try and fit one more in before that exciting but sad occasion. BOOH has spoiled me from viewing musical theatre from this point onwards. All future shows I see have a lot to live up to. This production has set the bar very high. Thank you to all those involved. ,

Fistly, a fantastic evenings entertainment. Not what you might expect as the performance is loosely based on Peter and Wendy / Lost Boys, it incorporates the music of Meat Loaf. Dual cameras included in the performance adds to the visuals, and the 3D, (although sparse) is excellent. Seats L2/L3 Stalls, advertised as non restricted view, was in fact restricted to anything on the far right of stage.

For me this is 'west side story' set in 2025 so should appeal to anyone who enjoys brilliant singing, excellent acting and an exceptional storyline. Do not be put off if there are 'understudy or stand ins' everyone in this troupe gives heart and soul to the performance, being a newbie I have only seen it 20 times from the early days in Manchester through the Colosseum to the Dominion.

It’s been a long time coming but now finally everything’s in place and it’s been announced that Meatloaf’s most theatrical of albums, BAT OF OUT HELL, will be the basis of a new stage musical, to be staged by Obie Award-winning director Jay Scheib.
The music and lyrics were written by Jim Steinman and the songs on the best selling trilogy of albums performed by Meat Loaf have always had a story linking them together.
