Happy Halloween: 'Bat Out Of Hell - The Musical' Is Heading To Cinemas

If you weren’t already prepared for spooky season, Cinema Live has you covered.

Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical – the rock spectacle based on the highly successful Meat Loaf album of the same name – will hit cinemas across Australia for the first time. Arriving just in time for Halloween, screenings will begin on Thursday, 30 October, in over 100 cinemas across the country.

Making its global cinematic debut in Australia, fans can expect to see the cast in the dystopian city of Obsidian, where the rebellious gang, The Lost, never ages. Strat – the gang’s leader – and Raven, the daughter of the city’s tyrannical ruler, Falco, fall in love and embark on a defiant journey.

Set to showcase live performances from an eight-piece rock band, multi-level staging, and dazzling production, it’s a unique experience that’s been captured for the screen, and fans of theatre and Meat Loaf won’t want to miss out.

Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical flies into Australian cinemas from Thursday, 30 October. You can find screening details on your local cinema’s website and see the 2025 tour trailer below.

The cinema event is set to feature the explosive cast from the West End production of the musical, including Katie Tonkinson as Raven and Glenn Adamson as Strat.

Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical delivers Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf’s greatest hits, such as I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That), Paradise By The Dashboard Light, Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, Dead Ringer For Love, and, of course, the iconic title track.

Steinman wrote all of the songs, most of which feature on Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell trilogy of albums: Bat Out Of Hell, Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose.

After premiering at the Manchester Opera House in England in February 2017, Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical ran in London and Toronto, followed by international tours in 2023. Earlier this year, the show returned to the UK.
