BAT OUT OF HELL THE MUSICAL is a breathtaking new musical of teenage love, youthful rebellion and living the rock’n’roll dream.
This high-octane adventure tears through Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf’s greatest hits including I’d Do Anything For Love, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Dead Ringer For Love, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad and Bat Out of Hell.
Following critically acclaimed previews in Manchester, BAT OUT OF HELL transfers to the London Coliseum for its WORLD PREMIERE from 5 June and Toronto from 14 October!
According to Meat Loaf this was Jim Steinman’s dream to make this a musical and he didn’t live long enough to see it through. To me doesn’t matter if he doesn’t sound like Meat Loaf. It’s the artistry of a man who wrote Meat Loaf’s career pretty much.
Jim Steinman only passed away about a year ago?
To be honest, his voice is not entirely dissimilar to Meat Loaf in his early days.....
I mean it IS technically classified as Wagnerian Rock Opera
Average vocal , helped by numerous backing singers .
Of course Jim Steinman saw this production.
RIP Steinman and Aday
There will never be another duo like you two
❤️❤️😪
In the production I saw, the bike breaks apart in real time, and the pieces fly together to form a heart. It was a truly magnificent performance, and I loved every second
Dont know if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last months :)
@Seth Tomas yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D
Wowww
oh my days that guy’s voice is INSANE
it's unreal, can't stop listening to it
A worthy tribute to meatloaf and jim Steinman their music is timeless and will last forever
Andrew and Christina do such a fantastic job with this song - I never imagined that anyone other than Mr. Loaf himself could have ever done it this well.
Mr. Aday. Meatloaf is his first name (after he changed it).
@@davidweihe6052 As for legal names, Marvin Aday changed his name to Michael Aday.
As a professional name, he goes by Meat Loaf. Even as a small child, "Meat" was his nickname. (Anything official shows Meat and Loaf as separate names.)
@@JustMeAndThePossums Why did he change it from Marvin to Michae
@@davidweihe6052, Meat Loaf is his name. Not Meatloaf.
@@kitgusto2390, the ad on TV said 'Fat Marvin can't wear Levis, or something to that effect. Meat changed it to Michael.
Just saw this guy perform in Toronto. His eyes are insane. There’s so much emotion in them. You just gotta see them up close irl.
Andrew Polec is phenomenal as Strat and he sings every single song perfectly well and it is spot on when he sings them and he can definitely sing rock songs like I can and even though he can sing this perfectly well especially at the age of 23 which is impressive to sing a Meat Loaf song at and I love him and his voice because he is one year older than me and does a grand job with every single Meat Loaf song and that is why he deserves to win the Best West End Debut award for playing the role of Strat and singing every song spectacularly well.
Absolutely fantastic, a very fitting tribute to Meat And Jim Steinman. Thank you to all the folks that made this show so exceptional.

I’ve been wanting to see this for awhile. Not familiar with the blond lead guy, but what a fucking phenomenal performance in every way. A+++++
To be in the world city that is London , to be in the West End and to be at one of the top performances of one of the top musicians of our time was a great experience for me
Please please please I want to see this masterpiece again on stage
Me too! Despite the fact I saw it TWICE in Dublin!
this does not do the real performance justice. such a great show and story in theatre. this is just a mere tease.
This has become my absolute favorite musical. Not sure how it happend that it overthroned "Les Miserables" just after seeing it once. Maybe because the songs bringing back flashes of memories and emotions long forgotten. Maybe it is because of the unique setup at stage. Most defenitly it is because of the awesome singing and because of the story build around those songs. Best Musical ever!!!! I'm so sorry to see it go in January but I hope it will return soon to West End! But until then I will enjoy it at least 3 times more. :D
I went to see this show in September 2018 in London. The best musical I've ever seen in my life.
This is amazing! BUT! The full version in the show is EVEN BETTER! Love you guys!!
You are so right. We just saw opening night in Toronto.
Tom Butters I saw the opening show in Toronto yesterday as well. It’s was amazing.
Hoping to see it in Australia in June but what with the current world problems I think it'll be cancelled. "sad"
Can we get a memorial performance of this? It seems like the proper send-off for the Bat Outta Hell himself.
It's 1/21/22. Meatloaf passed last night from Covid. This is a terrible loss of a fantastic musical icon. RIP
Just watched this at "The Dominion" theatre last night. Show absolutely blew me away....
capokhatpin watched a couple days ago...
Its the best show ive ever watched
I mean, just the stage is set with loads of things to help you recognise where you are
And the room in the tower with the cameraman where the actors also act
And the fact that theres a little pool on set
And that the stage spreads across the walls and ceiling of the dominion
And the music is live and loud
And breaking the fourth wall a bit
And things hiding above the set that lowers at times as well
And merchandise
i saw it last night at the dominion and i don’t think i’ve ever been more impressed by a musical. it was absolutely amazing!!!
Amazing performance I loved it
Seen it tonight in the dominion!
Do I see a shirtless Jim Steinman on his shirt? Nice touch
Yes, you do. I think it's from when he played Baal.
Man I loved your review on bad for good
Yeah is haha rather is him when he was least a bit younger this ua-cam.com/video/K0K_RY34z8U/v-deo.html
I watch Bat out of Hell today! Andrew Polec was amazing and so were all the actors and actresses! I love the songs, music and setting! Well done
I can'
t believe this is not on Broadway. I hope some day it gets Tony awards
That's a difficult song to pull off each night. Impressive.
I saw this in Toronto on November 3 2018 and Andrew Polec has gotten even better at those high notes at the end!
He killed it
Everyone saying he sound nothing like Meatloaf..That's generally the point, or they end up being just another copy and the comments like "Stop copying the original artist and make it your own"
The full stage show is fantastic and the 'Other Strat' Jordan Luke Gage is just as good if not better to be honest.
I personally think he doesn't sound that different.
I think he actually sounds way better than Meat Loaf. And he is also able to deliver the raw emotion .
He actually sounds quite a bit like Jim Steinman...
Probably a good thing that he sounds nothing like Meatloaf does at the moment.
@@godreaper6118 well, you dont listen to meatloaf because he can sing
I LOVE this!! I just broke into applause with the audience at the end, and I'm in my living room. lol
DOWJONI
DID I SAY THIS ANDREW IS INCREDIBLE ? SINGING WITH HIS ENTIRE BODY ❗️❗️❗️
I LOVE this VIOICE, I can't wait to see him LIVE BABY LIVE
🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
I'm a huge fan of this lady....amazing voice!
Saw this in Toronto a few years back with the understudy for Strat (I think that’s his name it’s been a while) and the performance was just as amazing. This recording doesn’t do it justice :)
This brings back memories from when I saw the show. It was amazing :)
No idea who the actress is but she may be the cutest human being on earth
Amazing show. Great actor. We went in this theatre, Netherlands doesnt have this level at all. Wanna go back. Thanks guys
Like "Tommy & "We Will Rock You", this is paying homage to a masterpiece.
No homage, my friend. This IS the masterpiece! This is what Steinman had originally intended.
@@concretebuilding ❤️❤️
Fantastic…love to have seen this live …Sterling performance thank you ♥️
RIP Jim Steinman
💔💔
Holy Shit but this was amazing! I just sat and stared and stared some more. What a magnificent voice!
Saw show last night fantastic great vocals and great cast.
I'm going to keep watching this video until I can see Bat outta hell again next year!!
Hope they put this show on dvd in the future
It’s Broadway so sadly they don’t do that. I wish they did though
- Julia - such a shame would love it on a dvd :-)
Michael Parsons I know I would too
They eventually did with Cats and you can buy a CD of the cast recording, so here's hoping.
Was about to say the same thing about Cats :-)
Just come back from seeing the matinee performance and it was absolutely incredible! So sad it's off to Toronto soon but I really hope it'll come back to the west end, I won't give any spoilers but the full show version of this song is a million times better!
Naoise Standing apparently it's coming back next year!!!
You're loss is my gain. I'm booked in for November in T.O.. I'm so excited I'm driving my family nuts.
Wish I got the chance to see this production. I wonder if it will be released again after Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf's sad passing ❤
It's touring currently.
Saw this yesterday at MK theatre, different cast but was absolutely amazing.
I have just got back from this live show at the London Coliseum and holy shit it was amazing!
I took my daughter to see the show in london absolutely fantastic
Just Brilliant 👍👍
Jim Steinman R.I.P.
Excellent love this musical, love Meat loaf 💙
I have just seen this at the Dominican and the staging is so much better so glad I wanted but the vocals are still good
🙌 A rock and roll musical!
Love this!
He’s so talented. He could play either Tommy in a new musical Tommy, or he could play Pippin in a revival of Pippin.
I miss this
Just watched two shows at nycc during labor day weekend. It replaced Mamma Mia as my all time favorite.
I saw it my 2nd time at NYCC during Labor Day wknd too. Welcome to the obsession, there's no looking back! LOL
It’s beautiful
Wow!
The fact that he's not chubby is meatloaf erasure
the fact he's not begging Todd Rundgren to put in a motorcycle is jim steinman erasure
Went to see on 2nd August 2017 all I can say is fantastic show well worth a visit
Beautiful!
Love this !
Hoping to catch this in Toronto this November.
Did you get there?
I would rather catch aids than catch this
At 1:40 did they cut lyrics from the original song or is that a cut in the video? It sounds so jarring after how many times I've listened to the original.
It was in the song, they had to cut it short to fit into the Palladium TV show (it has lots of other acts/shows in it). They also use that cut in the final reprise version of the song at the end of the show. But the full version in the show is epic!
Excellent 👍
Now in honor of Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, I think we need a musical drama romance biopic film about Meat Loaf’s life and career called “Bat Out Of Hell”. Distributed by 20th Century Studios. Who else agrees? Who should play Meat Loaf, his family, Ellen Foley, and Jim?
Espectacular
Hey bat out of hell you should make a movie about meat Loaf and Jim Steinmans life when they came together to make the greatest record ever bat out of hell
Already done. ua-cam.com/video/pqPiYmHCfVQ/v-deo.html
I mean I saw this week before last and am so so so sad it's closing tonight cause I can't see it for another year and there is no cast recording yet!!!!
Check out Andrew Polecs other music too - he really is blooming amazing!
Please please please I want to see this
Geweldig de mooiste herinnering
Ella !
Rip meatloaf
This play reminds me of return of the living dead 3
Props. No candle to Meat but dude has serious potential.
The lights could've been better timed with the rapid piano bit at the start
Jim Steinman is on his shirt
Great lead. Tremendous voice and passion. Terrible choreography. I agree with the person who mentioned the sterility.
A Musical and meat loaf could this get any more shit lol
For some reason I get ramin and Sierra vibes at the start of the number.
in every clip I have seen thus far... the chorus dancers are not precise.. if you watch carefully, you will see timing is out with the dancers... pulls focus, otherwise great looking show.
Richard Johnson Trust me, if you see it on stage it is so much better than any of the clips make it look. It is awesome.
lol I'm a kid watching this but my nanna watched this
That kids gonna have to hit the cheesecake
Stan Smith Or some Meatloaf 😉
Saw it yesterday in Hull, very disappointed.
Mehhh, to clean and sterile. Does not have the grit of a Meatloaf performance back in the early days of his career. I have seen him and his show was stupendous. Not trying to take anything away from this but I think Steinman's music on the Bat Out of Hell album and more importantly the tour, which I am comparing this to, worked because it was a rock group performing operatic theater not theater performing rock. It had all of the wild self destruction and cocaine fueled intensity of a late 70's early 80's rock band. There were fights, Meatloaf would melt down and wreck rooms, he needed oxygen after performances. That all played an important role in making this the best rock album ever.
Yeah this is just to clean and while the vocals are good, they are not good enough to carry the epic music of the Bat Out of Hell album/tour. Mind you I did not give it a thumbs down as its not bad, just doesn't have the right feel.
J I couldn’t find the words, well said. I like the vocals but there’s a huge piece missing making one not want to see let alone pay.
It’s almost bubble gum. May as well be singing like a bat out of my rainbow sherbet
my parents went to this
hehe somethings cant get better anyway its not bad
When I saw the show, it was a different actor for strat
was it after september 6th?? then it was Jordan Luke Gage! :D
Whice song is this?
Bat Out of Hell
@Phil Turner Thanks
Wow, the name is in the title, BAT OUT OF HELL!!!!!
Who is that porcine-skinned goddess who is the female lead? She is gorgeous.
Darren Bent her name is Christina Bennington
Thank you very much. I now have something to look for on Facebook.
porcine? bit harsh no?
Nope, to me, she looks like a really beautiful porcelain living doll.
+Darren Bent OH that makes infinitely more sense - "porcine" means "pig-like"
😁😁😁
ok
Scenes and movements are quite silly compared to the original meaning of this song.
the song was originally written for this play, so i would guess this is pretty much how Jim Steinman saw it.
What's even funnier is that the song is actually about a bike rather than a woman.
?
Honestly, When I saw the musical ads around London I was amazed. Before buying the tickets I took a look at the trailer and I got disappointed. I expected the dramatic mood of the record I used to listen. By the way the song was written for a record, not for a musical.
Pretty sure the song, along with "Heaven Can Wait" and "All Revved Up with No Place To Go", originally featured in Steinman's Peter Pan inspired 1977 musical Neverland.
Actually this isn't as bad as the soundtrack makes it seem. The soundtrack on Spotify is like 40 minutes of pure cringe. Shame too as the albums are such classics. ESPECIALLY Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Just butchered it with some annoying commentary thrown in.
The guy is a good singer, but he doesn't even come close to Meatloaf's wonderful performance.
Getting Gerard Way vibes from the singer
He has a good voice but the costume isn't so convincing, he looks like a Hot Topic employee
What is the musical about. i see it as aa psycotic mad max
Gary Eppenbaugh it's hard to explain! Strat (the blonde guy) is a part of a group called the lost who all have some kind of disorder which means they never age past 18 and they are deemed to be dangerous and monsters because they are forever lost and not knowing where to go. Raven is the daughter of the commander in chief of the community who is not ever allowed to leave the house because her father perceives the world to be too dangerous for her but she has fallen in love with strat through watching him everyday from her window! I won't tell you any more or else I'll give the whole story away haha
It’s meant to be a retelling of Peter Pan and Wendy. The plot is a mess but the performances and staging are excellent and worth seeing at least once.
In a way it's like Romeo and Juliet, but neither of them die
Not a fan of the liberties he takes with the vocal lines.
shades of Sis Vicious in the male leads look...other than that its an ok version. I'm just not seeing why everyone is saying this is great sorry
This song is just ....glorious!
Uu
B tec logan paul ¬_¬
