'Bat Out Of Hell' Musical Coming To NYC

Fans of Meat Loaf might not be able to see him onstage any time soon -- but get ready, because composer Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell - The Musical is coming to New York City, according to Best Classic Bands. The critically acclaimed production premiered on London's West End back in 2017, and features Steinman's songs from Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell trilogy -- 1977's Bat Out Of Hell, 1993's Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and 2006's Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose. The "Big Apple" stand will run for six weeks at the New York City Center starting on August 1st.

There's no word whether Meat Loaf will be on hand for the opening night after breaking his collarbone earlier this month while appearing at the Texas Fightmare Weekend -- a horror movie convention.
