This dystopian riff on Peter Pan is currently touring the United Kingdom.
The current UK national tour of Jim Steinman’s Bat Out of Hell — The Musical will be filmed for future worldwide release by BroadwayHD and Stagescreen.
The musical, which is set in a dystopian world where a group of immortal bikers are harassed by a local warlord, only for one biker to fall in love with the warlord’s daughter, includes Steinman and Meat Loaf’s iconic songs from the Bat Out of Hell albums, including “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth,” “Bat Out of Hell,” and “I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).”
Originally presented at the Manchester Opera House in 2017, the show opened at the West End’s London Coliseum later that year, earning eight WhatsOnStage Award nominations, including Best New Musical. Various productions have since been seen around the world.
The cast features Glenn Adamson as Strat, Katie Tonkinson as Raven, Rob Fowler as Falco, Sharon Sexton as Sloane, Georgia Bradshaw as Zahara, Ryan Carter as Jagwire, Carla Bertran as Tink, Luke Street as Ledoux, and Carly Burns as Valkyrie.
