Scottish premiere for Glasgow King’s
Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical, featuring Jim Steinman and Meatloaf’s greatest hits, gets its Scottish premiere at the Glasgow King’s in November 2020, with tickets on sale Today, Monday 9 December 2019.
Six dates have been announced the tour, opening at Manchester Opera House in September 2020, playing the Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre, the New Wimbledon Theatre and New Oxford Theatres before arriving at the Glasgow King’s on Tue 10 Nov for a two-week stint and moving on to the Liverpool Empire for Christmas 2020.
Bat Out Of Hell became one of the best-selling albums in history when it came out in 1977 and has now sold over 50 million copies worldwide. 16 years later, Steinman scored again with Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell, which contained the massive hit I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That).
For the stage musical Jim Steinman has incorporated songs from the Bat Out Of Hell albums, including You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, Bat Out Of Hell, and Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, as well as two previously unreleased songs, What Part of My Body Hurts the Most and Not Allowed to Love.
In Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical, the songs propel an epic story of rebellious youth and passion as Strat, the immortal leader of The Lost, has fallen in love with Raven, the beautiful daughter of the tyrannical ruler Falco.
