A popular rock musical is set to hit the big screen in Somerset for the first time.

Bat Out of Hell: The Musical, featuring the West End cast, will be shown in more than 450 cinemas across the UK and Ireland from Thursday, October 30.

The screenings will bring the theatre spectacle to audiences across Somerset, including Odeon in Taunton, as well as Cineworld and the Plaza in Weston-super-Mare.

The story, set in the dystopian city of Obsidian, follows a rebellious gang called The Lost, who are unable to grow old.

At the heart of this rock opera is the romance between the gang's leader, Strat, and Raven, the sheltered daughter of the city's tyrannical ruler, Falco.

The show promises a full-throttle experience with an eight-piece live rock band, multi-level staging, and novel production elements.

These will take audiences from Raven’s bedroom to the rebellious underground world of The Lost.

The production, which combines the talents of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf, brings a cinematic experience of the iconic stage show for theatre fans and Meat Loaf enthusiasts alike.

The musical, following a successful UK tour, includes songs such as I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That), Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad, and the titular Bat Out of Hell.
