The cast comprises notable actors including Glenn Adamson as Strat and Katie Tonkinson as Raven.
Accompanying them are Rob Fowler and Sharon Sexton, reprising their roles as Falco and Sloane respectively.
The musical reunites a talented cast that has made waves in the world of theatre.
Bat Out Of Hell - The Musical has been a crowd-pleaser, generating waves of approval from critics and the public alike.
It enjoyed successful runs at notable locations including the Manchester Opera House, London’s Dominion Theatre and the London Coliseum.
In addition to its UK success, it had similarly successful runs in Canada, Germany, and New York, and found a home in Las Vegas.
The international tour spanned across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand, testifying to its widespread popularity.
Such acclaim led to the musical winning the Radio 2 Audience Award for Best Musical at the Evening Standard Awards.
Featuring iconic songs from Steinman and Meatloaf's well-loved albums including 'Bat Out of Hell' and 'I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)', the musical is an ode to love and rebellion.
Audiences follow the love-at-first-sight-obsession between fearless leader Strat and Raven, daughter of the city's ruler Falco, as they navigate a potential family feud.
The direction and creative leadership of Jim Steinman, alongside the production prowess of Michael Cohl, Tony Smith, David Sonenberg and executive producer Julian Stoneman, have made this musical a must-see event.
