Bat Out Of Hell - The Musical

Bat Out of Hell: The Musical is a rock musical with music, lyrics and book by Jim Steinman, partly based on the Bat Out of Hell album by Meat Loaf. Steinman wrote all of the songs, most of which are on the Bat Out of Hell trilogy of albums. The musical is a loose retelling of Peter Pan, set in post-apocalyptic Manhattan, and follows Strat, the forever young leader of 'The Lost' who has fallen in love with Raven, daughter of Falco, the tyrannical ruler of Obsidian. Steinman has said in interviews that a version of the Peter Pan story inspired some of the songs on the 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, and that is the connection between this musical and the 1977 album. Before the album Bat Out of Hell was released, Steinman worked on a musical of that storyline that was then called "Neverland".
