Bat Out of Hell - The Musical celebrated its highly anticipated official opening in its brand-new, immersive theatre at Paris Las Vegas on Oct. 7, 2022. The sold-out audience filled with VIPs, rock fans and musical theatre enthusiasts alike were treated to an electrifying performance of back-to-back hit numbers from Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf's best-selling albums including "Bat Out of Hell" and "Bat Out of Hell: Back to Hell," punctuated by high-octane special effects, pyrotechnics and a colossal set. The 26-member ensemble, live band and larger-than-life choreography transported showgoers into an alluring post-apocalyptic city filled with forbidden love and rebellious youth.

"Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf's jaw-dropping songs soar with an unbelievable all-star cast. With motorcycles, explosions and driving choreography the 85-minute show fits beautifully into the Paris Theater," shared Jay Scheib, Director of Bat Out of Hell - The Musical. "I am so excited for Las Vegas to finally see the cast and crew's hard work, and Jim's dream come to life on stage."
