Arena rock musical Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell will tour Australia in June 2020.

The award winning stage musical has been transformed into an arena rock musical and will feature iconic songs from Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell albums, including You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth, Bat Out Of Hell, I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That), Paradise by the Dashboard Light, It’s All Coming Back to Me Now and Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad.

These electrifying rock 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.

This smash hit rock musical experience based on one of the best-selling albums of all time will commence in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena on Thursday 4 June followed by arena dates in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Promoter Paul Dainty said he was thrilled to bringing the show to Australia.

“I can’t wait to bring this new arena rock musical to Australia. The theatre show blew audiences away in the UK, Canada and USA and given Jim Steinman’s iconic masterpiece Bat Out Of Hell is the highest selling album of all time in Australia, we know audiences here are going to love it.”

The three Bat Out Of Hell albums, which are performed by singer Meatloaf and written by Jim Steinman, have sold a staggering 100 million copies globally.

The first album, released in 1977, is one of the best-selling albums of all time internationally and in Australia is the highest selling album of all time selling 1.8m copies. In 2003, the album was named one of “Greatest Albums of All Time” by Rolling Stone.

Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell premiered in 2017 at the Manchester Opera House and then played at London’s Coliseum, winning the Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.
