Jim Steinman's original musical [*Bat Out of Hell*](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/2525/bat-out-of-hell-tickets.aspx) is returning to the London theatre scene next month and the hit production held a special event hosted by Planet Rock Radio to mark the show's relaunch. London Theatre Direct was lucky enough to be there on the scene last night to experience a **hellishly good, spellbinding performance!**
**London’s American International Church** was “ablaze” last night as the rock-and-roll celebrations took *[Bat Out of Hell](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/2525/bat-out-of-hell-tickets.aspx)* straight to church, shaking up the joint with the sound of revving motorcycles (known as "bat bikes") and a riveting performance from both new and old cast members. The show's return is set to star **Andrew Polec** (Strat), **Christina Bennington** (Raven), **Rob Fowler** (Falco) and **Sharon Sexton** (Sloane) and we were incredibly thrilled by how fantastic the new cast sounds together! Have a listen to their performance of the titular song [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb4L85pS_28).
Performances of this rock opera are set to begin on 2 April 2018 at the [Dominion Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/16/dominion-theatre.aspx). It previously ran for a limited time only at the [London Coliseum](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/122/london-coliseum.aspx) in 2017.
This romantic jukebox musical features some of Meat Loaf's greatest hits, including T*wo Out of Three Ain't Bad*, *Dead Ring for Love, Paradise by the Dashboard Light*, and *I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)*.
