Put Meatloaf in a musical and you don’t have dinner theater, you have Bat Out of Hell: The Musical. The title is taken from Meatloaf’s cult album and the show is set to its songs (Jim Steinman wrote both the songs and the musical). A fantastical rock-n-roll story of star-crossed lovers in leather, Bat Out of Hell is an over-the-top joyride. —C.J.F.
