I'm so confused by this news that Bat Out of Hell is being presented at multiple Hard Rock Hotels including Atlantic City, Miami, Tampa? Do the very short runs mean that it's non-equity? 

Has anyone seen other shows there?

I just wish they'd say whether there will be more dates, or if this is it.

The cynic in me says they don't want to give audiences enough time to realize it sucks, but then again, at the Hard Rock it's playing to the kind of audience that would care more about the score than what they refer to as a plot. :P

My guess would be, whether it's Equity or non-Equity, the runs are so very short because a) the Hard Rock has other acts on its schedule that they don't have a lot of room to re-book, and b) this is a test drive to see how well it'll work in this type of venue, since ticket sales were so poor at conventional venues that the last national tour got canceled.
