Jim Steinman’s Bat Out of Hell – The Musical will return to London in 2023. The musical, which features the greatest hits of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf, will have a limited run at the Peacock Theatre February 17–April 1, 2023.
Currently on tour across the U.K. and Ireland, the show has also announced that it will begin a residency at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino September 27. Casts for both productions will be announced at a later date.
The jukebox musical follows Strat, immortal leader of The Lost, and Raven, daughter of the tyrant Falco, as they fall in love in a story about the rebelliousness that can come with youth and passion. Hits like "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)," "Bat Out of Hell," "I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)," and "Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad" are featured in the show, along with two previously unreleased songs, "What Part of My Body Hurts the Most" and "Not Allowed to Love."
