Bat Out of Hell The Musical is headed for Toronto, and to help celebrate its arrival on Canadian shores, legendary rocker Meat Loaf will be appearing in a special, one-off mini-concert on Yonge St. on May 15.

The street will be closed just for the occasion between Shuter and Dundas, as a parade of Harley Davidsons will kick things off by rolling up to the stage.

The “Two Out of Three Ain't Bad” singer will introduce the musical and discuss his role in the creation of the album, on which the musical is based.

Performances for Bat Out of Hell The Musical will begin on Oct. 14 at Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre. Tickets go on sale May 24 at mirvish.com.

Bat Out of Hell The Musical is co-produced by Bell Media, parent company of this website.
