Bat out of hell – The Musical will be performed at kings’ theatre from April 7 – April 19, 2025. Glaswegian based actor Craig Watson will star as Astroganger and is the shows resident director.
Craig shot to fame after placing third in ITV’s hit show Mamma Mia! I have a dream. The show will feature songs from Jim Steinman alongside songs from Meat Loaf’s best-selling 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), and Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.
The cast for the 2025 production also includes Glenn Adamson as Strat, Katie Tonkinson as Raven, Rob Fowler as Falco, and Sharon Sexton as Sloane will be Georgia Bradshaw as Zahara, Ryan Carter as Jagwire, Carla Bertran as Tink, Luke Street as Ledoux, and Carly Burns as Valkyrie.
The musical has previously stunned and delighted critics and the public alike with having limited showings in London Coliseum and Dominion Theatre.
A review said “The Bat is Back and this spectacular, critically-acclaimed production is definitely worth a watch, as it brings to life the legendary anthems of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf. It’s certainly a feast for the eyes and ears that masterfully combines the magic and excitement of a musical, interlaced with renowned and magnificent rock ‘n’ roll tracks.”
Tickets are on sale now and are priced from £15.
