Review: PIPPIN at Short North Stage

Review: BAT OUT OF HELL: THE MUSICAL at Palace Theatre

by Paul Batterson · April 21, 2026

That’s both the draw and the danger of Jim Steinman’s music. While it comes with a built-in 50-and-over audience, jukebox musicals run the danger of relying on nostalgia, being underperformed by its actors, and/or having a paper thin plot. BAT OUT OF HELL avoided two of those three pitfalls. As …
