Bat Out of Hell – The Musical

Costume Supervisor · North American Tour · 2026

OVERVIEW

 

Featuring the music of Jim Steinman and songs made famous by Meat Loaf, Bat Out of Hell – The Musical is a large-scale rock musical set in the post-apocalyptic city of Obsidian. The story follows Strat, the eternally young leader of the rebellious Lost, and Raven, the daughter of the city’s tyrannical ruler, Falco.

 

Directed by Jay Scheib, the 2026 North American tour combined a live rock band, multi-level scenic environments, video and theatrical spectacle to create a heightened world shaped by rebellion, youth, fantasy and rock-and-roll.
