Bat Out of Hell The Musical

Bat Out of Hell The Musical at Ed Mirvish Theatre

Why see Bat Out of Hell The Musical?

...GLOWING LIKE THE METAL ON THE EDGE OF A KNIFE

Prepare yourselves for the returns of this epic rock opera, returning to Toronto this fall! A high-energy adaptation of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf's amazing trilogy of records of the same name, it has already enjoyed two successful runs on London's West End and is gearing up for a North American tour during the 2018/19 season.

Steinman's iconic bops have been dusted off by the man himself, forming an anthemic and euphoric score to a brand new tale of lovestruck young rockers living in a dystopian nightmare, wheeling ever closer to an explosive rebellion. With 17 classic bops, including 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light', 'Heaven Can Wait' and more, you won't have to wait too long dust off your leather jackets and rockabilly denim and prepare to rock, hard!

The first part of Bat Out of Hell was released in 1977, with the second and third following in 1993 and 2006 respectively. Inspired by musicians as diverse as Wagner and Bruce Springsteen, it was a hit immediately on both sides of the Atlantic. Always intended to be a large scale work, this long overdue staging has both fans of theatre and rock and roll ready to do anything for tickets.

HE'D DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE...

Following the fortunes of Strat, a young man stuck in a post-apocalyptic city and his passionate romance with the beautiful daughter of Falco, the mad dictator in charge. Weaving together songs from both Bat Out of Hell I, II and III, this is a must see for fans of Stienman's highly charged songwriting that overflows with drama and theatrics.

Insane operatic epic

A high-octane thrill ride, this epic stage adaptation of the already fairly epic album(s) is utterly irresistible.

10 out of 10 ! Absolutely Perfect!!

Not just for fans of Meatloaf, this dark and yet surprisingly comedic musical will hold your attention from start till finish. While the story being told was a bit awkward at times, the stellar performances by the entire cast more than made up for it. The only negative is that this being my first musical, I am now probably hooked, lol..so just go see this ; you wont be disappointed. ... Read more

BAT OUT OF HELL.......AMZING! POWERFUL! UNREAL!

This is one of the best stage shows I have ever seen and I have seen many! The entire show was spellbinding, the effects, dancers, singers, sets, music...The venue is great as were our close Orchestra seats...I can't say enough.I laughed, cried, sang, all of it! A 20 out of 10 rating! I hope to see it again-a cult classic for sure!! This is a great show for teens straight through to seniors. A good bet for a close, reasonably priced restaurant would be Fran's a block away. ... Read more
