The mega-hit musical featuring the timeless music of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf boasts an epic world class cast of singers, dancers, and actors accompanied by a dynamic eight-piece rock band performing iconic rock songs from albums that sold over 68 million copies worldwide.
The production won the UK’s Radio 2 Audience Award for Best Musical at the Evening Standard Awards and received eight London WhatsOnStage Award nominations including Best New Musical. The show garnered five stars from The Independent, Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Manchester Evening News, and Metro, with The New York Times calling it extravagant, absurd, and compulsively hummable. Steinman incorporated iconic songs 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)”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me”, and “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad”, plus previously unreleased song “What Part of My Body Hurts the Most”. The musical follows the Lost boys and girls fleeing into tunnels below the city from ruler Falco as his teenage daughter Raven locks eyes with fearless leader Strat, their love-at-first-sight obsession threatening to destroy both families. Produced by Emmy and Tony Award winner Michael Cohl, Tony Smith, and David Sonenberg with direction by Jay Scheib, the show runs April 1 at 1:30pm and 7:30pm, April 2 at 1:30pm, April 3 at 7:30pm, and April 4 at 2pm and 7:30pm.
