Wow! What an amazing show.

When my auntie said we were going to Bat out Of Hell, I didn’t know any of the music or anything about the storyline but I couldn’t wait to get back to the theatre after our long covid break.

When we arrived the red carpet was full of Harley Davidsons which set off on a noisy drive by past the theatre. It was quite the start to the show.

The show opened to Raven played by Martha Kirby stamping her foot which lit up the set, her monologue about the past led into the start of the main storyline where she was about to celebrate her 18th birthday and began to fall in love with Strat, Glenn Adamson. Strat the leader of The Lost was joined by the rest of the cast to sing ‘All Revved up’. At the end of the number the whole audience went mad cheering and I knew I was going to love the show.

The set was amazing, it combined Falco Towers, with the area known as ‘The Deep End’ where the teenagers known as The Lost live. They are going to stay teenagers for ever and as Strat and Raven fall in love the musical tells their story.

Falco played by Rob Fowler and Sloane, Sharon Sexton are Raven’s parents and they disapprove of Strat. The couple have several funny scenes and star in some of the big songs, Paradise by the Dashboard light being my favourite of theirs.

There were too many amazing numbers to choose a favourite, but You took the words out of my mouth and I’d do anything for love were two that really stood for me. All of the cast were fantastic and the choreography and costumes along with the amazing set and lighting and the music which I now love all made it into one of my favourite ever shows. I’d definitely love to see it again. I’m 17 and even though there were some scenes that were inappropriate for younger children I’m sure anyone over 14 or 15 would love it.
