Last week marked the opening of seven sold-out performances of Jim Steinman’s spectacular musical Bat Out of Hell at New Theatre Cardiff.

Not only did the team welcome more than 7,000 audience members through the doors, but they were also joined by over 20 bikers from Harley Owners Group Welsh Dragon Chapter Cardiff (8586).

After a photocall with Bat Out of Hell lead Glenn Adamson, the bikers parked up outside the theatre as audience members started to arrive and their presence was a roaring success!

They then drove off in formation and did two circuits around the theatre creating the perfect atmosphere to welcome this rock ‘n’ roll musical to Cardiff.

The opening night would have been Meat Loaf’s birthday, and the cast paid a special tribute to the music legend that night by getting audience members to light up the theatre with their phones during the encore.
