Tuesday 25 January 2022. Tues 18 Jan to Sat 29 Jan - including evenings and matinees. BAT OUT OF HELL - THE MUSICAL is at the New Wimbledon Theatre, London SW19. Bringing to life the legendary anthems of Jim Steinman & Meat Loaf, this critically-acclaimed production uniquely combines the magic and excitement of a musical with the immense energy of rock ‘n’ roll. Join Strat, the forever young leader of rebellious gang ‘The Lost’ as he falls in love with Raven, the beautiful daughter of the tyrannical ruler of Obsidian. This award-winning wild child musical thunders through powerhouse hits including I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That), Paradise By The Dashboard Light, Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, Dead Ringer For Love and Bat Out of Hell, in an exciting over the top theatrical spectacle unlike any other. I saw this excellent production twice when it was in the West End at The Coliseum and The Dominion Theatre including the opening night party. MEAT LOAF died aged 74, during the run of these Wimbledon shows. JIM STEINMAN died last year , aged 73. ------------------- It is the same show of two sets - 65 mins and 75 mins. The production tonight is a bit smaller than the West End venues as the stage is not as big. The show is 50/50 narrative and music. Around 20 actors/dancers on stage off and on throughout the show. Mainly Meat Loaf mega tunes but also some from Jim Steinman albums. Some pretty incredible power ballads of the highest order. An excellent show. Act I "Love and Death and an American Guitar" "All Revved Up with No Place to Go / The Opening of the Box / Everything Louder Than Everything Else / If It Ain't Broke, Break It" "Who Needs the Young?" "Out of the Frying Pan (And Into the Fire)" "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" "Bat Out of Hell" ------------------- Act II "In the Land of the Pig, the Butcher Is King" "Heaven Can Wait" "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" "Teenager In Love" "For Crying Out Loud" "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)" "Not Allowed to Love" "What Part of My Body Hurts the Most" "Dead Ringer for Love" "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through" "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" Finale (Bat Out of Hell (reprise))
