Bat Out Of Hell The Musical : Multimedia

15th March 2018. Shortly ahead of opening at the Dominion Theatre, London, the cast of Bat Out Of Hell the musical put on a live show at the American International Church in London. It's an actual church on Tottenham Court Road, just by the Dominion - you can see the audience sitting in pews - and they put up Bat Out Of Hell posters everywhere, piled in and did this free show. It's substantial too, nearly half an hour of great music.

Setlist: Bat Out Of Hell, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most, Dead Ringer For Love, I'd Do Anything For Love.

There are two great videos of this, this first one is from Theatre-News and is filmed from the viewpoint of the audience

The other is shot professionally by the show, with dynamic shots and soundboard audio - so you won't hear the audience applause between scenes, etc.

2nd March 2018. Giovanni Spano and Danielle Steers take us on a tour around rehearsals for Bat Out Of Hell, preparing to open at the Dominion Theatre, London. After the show ended in Toronto, contracts for the cast were up - some stayed on, many were replaced - and in the end, there were 2 ensemble characters added. So there's a blend of "old" and new in the cast at this point.
