Based on the mega selling album the musical follows the lost boys and girls who flee into the tunnels below a city ruled by the despotic Falco. His rebellious teenage daughter Raven locks eyes with the fearless leader of the Lost, the immortal Strat, and their love-at-first-sight-obsession threatens to destroy both of their families.  

Bat Out Of Hell became one of the best-selling albums in history selling over 68 million copies worldwide. Sixteen years after the release of the original album, Steinman scored another hit with Bat Out Of Hell II: Back into Hell, which contained the massive hit I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That). 

For the stage musical, the legendary and award-winning Jim Steinman incorporated iconic songs from the Bat Out Of Hell albums, including You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth, Bat Out Of Hell, I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) and Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, as well as the previously unreleased song What Part of My Body Hurts the Most.

This reimagined version of the show features an eight-piece rock band on stage and multi-level platforms that will transport you through the diverse worlds of Bat Out Of Hell, from Raven’s bedroom to the depths of the Lost’s underground domains.

Returning to the cast are We Will Rock You’s Glenn Adamson as Strat, Katie Tonkinson as Raven, with original leading cast members Rob Fowler as Falco and Mamma Mia’s Sharon Sexton as Sloane.    

Bat Out Of Hell is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th April 2025. Book online at www.leedsheritagetheatres.com or call the box office on 0113 243 0808.
