Following a hugely successful run at the London Coliseum in the summer of 2017, Jim Steinman's epic rock and roll theatrical fantasy Bat Out of Hell The Musical will make its hugely anticipated return to London at the Apollo Theatre in April 2018.

Probably the biggest rock musical in London since We Will Rock You ran at the Dominion Theatre, the musical is based on one of the most iconic and successful albums in history with an estimated total worldwide sales of over 43 million, Bat Out of Hell. It features hit songs recorded by rock legend Meat Loaf including "I’d Do Anything for Love", "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)", "Dead Ringer For Love" and "Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad" and, of course, the title track “Bat Out of Hell”.

Bat Out of Hell The Musical is described as a high octane musical adventure about rebellious youth and passionate love, set against the backdrop of a post-cataclysmic city adrift from the mainland. Strat, the forever young leader of The Lost, has fallen for Raven, daughter of Falco, the tyrannical, ruler of Obsidian. Will their love be allowed to blossom? The show originally ran in London at the Coliseum from 5th June to 22nd August 2017, and starred Andrew Polec as Strat and Christina Bennington as Raven. Polec went on to win The Stage Debut Award for Best West End Debut for his role. Casting for the show’s return is yet to be announced.

With a book by Jim Steinman and Stuart Beattie and music and lyrics by Jim Steinman, Bat Out of Hell the Musical is directed by Jay Scheib and features choreography by Emma Portner, with musical arrangements and supervision by Michael Reed, set design by Jon Bausor and costume design by Meentje Nielsen. The production opened at the Manchester Opera House in 2017, and transferred to the London Coliseum in June. After a run in Toronto, Canada, the musical has announced it would be returning to London in 2018, at the Apollo Theatre.
