According to Meat Loaf this was Jim Steinman’s dream to make this a musical and he didn’t live long enough to see it through. To me doesn’t matter if he doesn’t sound like Meat Loaf. It’s the artistry of a man who wrote Meat Loaf’s career pretty much.

RIP Steinman and Aday There will never be another duo like you two

In the production I saw, the bike breaks apart in real time, and the pieces fly together to form a heart. It was a truly magnificent performance, and I loved every second

Andrew and Christina do such a fantastic job with this song - I never imagined that anyone other than Mr. Loaf himself could have ever done it this well.

A worthy tribute to meatloaf and jim Steinman their music is timeless and will last forever

oh my days that guy’s voice is INSANE

Just saw this guy perform in Toronto. His eyes are insane. There’s so much emotion in them. You just gotta see them up close irl.

Please please please I want to see this masterpiece again on stage

To be in the world city that is London , to be in the West End and to be at one of the top performances of one of the top musicians of our time was a great experience for me

I went to see this show in September 2018 in London. The best musical I've ever seen in my life.

Absolutely fantastic, a very fitting tribute to Meat And Jim Steinman. Thank you to all the folks that made this show so exceptional. Dave (NEW ZEALAND)

Andrew Polec is phenomenal as Strat and he sings every single song perfectly well and it is spot on when he sings them and he can definitely sing rock songs like I can and even though he can sing this perfectly well especially at the age of 23 which is impressive to sing a Meat Loaf song at and I love him and his voice because he is one year older than me and does a grand job with every single Meat Loaf song and that is why he deserves to win the Best West End Debut award for playing the role of Strat and singing every song spectacularly well.

It's 1/21/22. Meatloaf passed last night from Covid. This is a terrible loss of a fantastic musical icon. RIP

Just watched this at "The Dominion" theatre last night. Show absolutely blew me away....

This has become my absolute favorite musical. Not sure how it happend that it overthroned "Les Miserables" just after seeing it once. Maybe because the songs bringing back flashes of memories and emotions long forgotten. Maybe it is because of the unique setup at stage. Most defenitly it is because of the awesome singing and because of the story build around those songs. Best Musical ever!!!! I'm so sorry to see it go in January but I hope it will return soon to West End! But until then I will enjoy it at least 3 times more. :D

I watch Bat out of Hell today! Andrew Polec was amazing and so were all the actors and actresses! I love the songs, music and setting! Well done

this does not do the real performance justice. such a great show and story in theatre. this is just a mere tease.

I can' t believe this is not on Broadway. I hope some day it gets Tony awards

This is amazing! BUT! The full version in the show is EVEN BETTER! Love you guys!!

Can we get a memorial performance of this? It seems like the proper send-off for the Bat Outta Hell himself.

I'm a huge fan of this lady....amazing voice!

That's a difficult song to pull off each night. Impressive.

Do I see a shirtless Jim Steinman on his shirt? Nice touch

He killed it

I saw this in Toronto on November 3 2018 and Andrew Polec has gotten even better at those high notes at the end!

Everyone saying he sound nothing like Meatloaf..That's generally the point, or they end up being just another copy and the comments like "Stop copying the original artist and make it your own" The full stage show is fantastic and the 'Other Strat' Jordan Luke Gage is just as good if not better to be honest.

I’ve been wanting to see this for awhile. Not familiar with the blond lead guy, but what a fucking phenomenal performance in every way. A+++++

DOWJONI DID I SAY THIS ANDREW IS INCREDIBLE ? SINGING WITH HIS ENTIRE BODY ❗️❗️❗️ I LOVE this VIOICE, I can't wait to see him LIVE BABY LIVE 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

RIP Jim Steinman

I LOVE this!! I just broke into applause with the audience at the end, and I'm in my living room. lol

Saw this in Toronto a few years back with the understudy for Strat (I think that’s his name it’s been a while) and the performance was just as amazing. This recording doesn’t do it justice :)

Amazing show. Great actor. We went in this theatre, Netherlands doesnt have this level at all. Wanna go back. Thanks guys

This brings back memories from when I saw the show. It was amazing :)

Like "Tommy & "We Will Rock You", this is paying homage to a masterpiece.

Fantastic…love to have seen this live …Sterling performance thank you ♥️

Saw show last night fantastic great vocals and great cast.

No idea who the actress is but she may be the cutest human being on earth

I'm going to keep watching this video until I can see Bat outta hell again next year!!

Hope they put this show on dvd in the future

Jim Steinman R.I.P.

I took my daughter to see the show in london absolutely fantastic

Just come back from seeing the matinee performance and it was absolutely incredible! So sad it's off to Toronto soon but I really hope it'll come back to the west end, I won't give any spoilers but the full show version of this song is a million times better!

Holy Shit but this was amazing! I just sat and stared and stared some more. What a magnificent voice!

I have just got back from this live show at the London Coliseum and holy shit it was amazing!

Wish I got the chance to see this production. I wonder if it will be released again after Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf's sad passing ❤

Excellent love this musical, love Meat loaf 💙

I miss this

I have just seen this at the Dominican and the staging is so much better so glad I wanted but the vocals are still good

The fact that he's not chubby is meatloaf erasure

🙌 A rock and roll musical!

It’s beautiful

Espectacular

He’s so talented. He could play either Tommy in a new musical Tommy, or he could play Pippin in a revival of Pippin.

Love this!

Just watched two shows at nycc during labor day weekend. It replaced Mamma Mia as my all time favorite.

Wow!

Hoping to catch this in Toronto this November.

Beautiful!

Now in honor of Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, I think we need a musical drama romance biopic film about Meat Loaf’s life and career called “Bat Out Of Hell”. Distributed by 20th Century Studios. Who else agrees? Who should play Meat Loaf, his family, Ellen Foley, and Jim?

At 1:40 did they cut lyrics from the original song or is that a cut in the video? It sounds so jarring after how many times I've listened to the original.

Excellent 👍

I mean I saw this week before last and am so so so sad it's closing tonight cause I can't see it for another year and there is no cast recording yet!!!!

Hey bat out of hell you should make a movie about meat Loaf and Jim Steinmans life when they came together to make the greatest record ever bat out of hell

Rip meatloaf

Ella !

This play reminds me of return of the living dead 3

Went to see on 2nd August 2017 all I can say is fantastic show well worth a visit

Please please please I want to see this

Props. No candle to Meat but dude has serious potential.

Check out Andrew Polecs other music too - he really is blooming amazing!

The lights could've been better timed with the rapid piano bit at the start

Jim Steinman is on his shirt

Great lead. Tremendous voice and passion. Terrible choreography. I agree with the person who mentioned the sterility.

For some reason I get ramin and Sierra vibes at the start of the number.

Geweldig de mooiste herinnering

in every clip I have seen thus far... the chorus dancers are not precise.. if you watch carefully, you will see timing is out with the dancers... pulls focus, otherwise great looking show.

my parents went to this

lol I'm a kid watching this but my nanna watched this

When I saw the show, it was a different actor for strat

That kids gonna have to hit the cheesecake

😁😁😁

Whice song is this?

hehe somethings cant get better anyway its not bad

ok

Saw it yesterday in Hull, very disappointed.

Who is that porcine-skinned goddess who is the female lead? She is gorgeous.

Mehhh, to clean and sterile. Does not have the grit of a Meatloaf performance back in the early days of his career. I have seen him and his show was stupendous. Not trying to take anything away from this but I think Steinman's music on the Bat Out of Hell album and more importantly the tour, which I am comparing this to, worked because it was a rock group performing operatic theater not theater performing rock. It had all of the wild self destruction and cocaine fueled intensity of a late 70's early 80's rock band. There were fights, Meatloaf would melt down and wreck rooms, he needed oxygen after performances. That all played an important role in making this the best rock album ever. Yeah this is just to clean and while the vocals are good, they are not good enough to carry the epic music of the Bat Out of Hell album/tour. Mind you I did not give it a thumbs down as its not bad, just doesn't have the right feel.

What is the musical about. i see it as aa psycotic mad max

Getting Gerard Way vibes from the singer

Scenes and movements are quite silly compared to the original meaning of this song.

Uu

The guy is a good singer, but he doesn't even come close to Meatloaf's wonderful performance.

Actually this isn't as bad as the soundtrack makes it seem. The soundtrack on Spotify is like 40 minutes of pure cringe. Shame too as the albums are such classics. ESPECIALLY Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Just butchered it with some annoying commentary thrown in.

B tec logan paul ¬_¬

shades of Sis Vicious in the male leads look...other than that its an ok version. I'm just not seeing why everyone is saying this is great sorry

He has a good voice but the costume isn't so convincing, he looks like a Hot Topic employee

Not a fan of the liberties he takes with the vocal lines.

oy. poor meatloaf. these actors look as if they just left the mall of suburban hell with their super clean looks. I hope the American version is gritty. #Posers Entertainment has hit an all time cheese factor. ok they can sing but where's the heart anymore? @my_2cents

blasfheny

Siento Verguenza ajena . Canta bien pero es todo tan exagerado .Solo hay un Meat Loaf !
