Overview
Synopsis
Twenty-five years ago, an earthquake hit Obsidian (formerly known as Manhattan), trapping a band of misfits in a tunnel and freezing their DNA. They became forever young and are known as The Lost. Now the leader of The Lost, Strat, and his band of misfits are fighting against the tyrannical dictator of Obsidian, Falco, to get their city back. Raven, the beautiful daughter of Falco, longs to break free from her parents’ controlling grasp and run away with The Lost. Strat and Raven fall in love at first sight, but will their forbidden love survive the test of time? Bat Out of Hell: the Musical is a non-stop musical spectacular centered around a loose retelling of Peter Pan. With the music of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf as the soundtrack to this epic musical extravaganza, Bat Out of Hell: the Musical is an event not to be missed.
