Bat Out Of Hell The Musical

I saw this in a double spread advert in The Standard tonight, no more info than that. Bob be heaven as he admitted he is a big Jim Steinman fan.

Surprised Princeton, you do not have more info, your the man on the pulse, so if you don't know, no one else will, Baz will have something in the morning.

I think this one will be a London gig, as the producers have paid a lot of money for a double page spread in The Evening Standard (London paper), so for the producers to pay that much money for a advert with no real info on it, a announcement has to be imminent.

The only London houses, I could see this going into would be the Prince Edward,Piccadilly or maybe Sadler Wells? But I do not see this going into a theatre as the houses I mention, do not look like they are going to give up on there tenants, I have a hunch they probably do a spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall or 02?

Remember Bob, saying on the Whistle Down the Wind thread, how much you love Jim Steinman, take it being a regular New York visitor, ou might of seen Dance with the Vampires?

I agree with you on jukebox/tribute musicals, too many of them around and they have been one to death, currently 5 playing London at the moment, 13 original musicals playing!

The article says about building a special venue, this is no theatre event, this is more stadium status

Just heard they want the Shaftesbury for a Summer opening...I thought Hairspray had more life in it...The only other theatre this could work in is the Dominion.

The show wants a sit down production in the West End. Its been mooting around for about a year - but its been very quite on any front since about 9 months ago. I had no idea things had progressed.

They are advertising it as "End of Season". Isthere a chance they bring it back in 2019 in another theater? Anyone have any idea what is moving into the Dominion?

I know there were issues with the US tour, but perhaps they will still tour later in 2019 with the original cast. It seems they have a block of dates in NY Summer of 2019.
