Stewart & Tricia Macpherson and Ben McDonald present

One hell of a rock ’n’ roll celebration

Fifty years ago, an album was unleashed on the world that would change rock music forever. Now the legendary music of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf explodes onto New Zealand stages, with an all-New Zealand cast and a live rock band.

Bursting with some of the biggest rock anthems ever written, including I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That), Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad, Dead Ringer for Love and, of course, Bat Out of Hell, the award-winning musical tours six cities this July and August.

Strat, the forever-young leader of a gang of outsiders called The Lost, falls for Raven, the sheltered daughter of the city’s tyrannical ruler. Big voices. Big guitars. Big emotions.

If you’d do anything for love, you won’t want to miss this.
