Interview with Bat Out of Hell’s Kellie Gnauck
Updated on 30 October 2023
They’ll do anything for love! Romeo and Juliet meets Rocky Horror in Bat Out of Hell The Musical! Set to the beat of the legendary collaboration of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf, Bat Out of Hell pushes family values to their very limits within the post-apocalyptic lands of Obsidian. When ruthless ruler Falco’s daughter meets the eternal teenage leader of The Lost, Strat, a love between them begins to blossom amidst their dystopian surroundings. However, the odds are stacked against them, and their ever-growing obsession threatens to destroy all they know. To celebrate our exclusive Black Friday theatre offer, we did a Q&A with Kellie Gnauck who plays Raven in Bat Out of Hell. Kellie recently took over the leading role after playing the part of Valkyrie, one of the leaders of The Lost and the feisty sister of LeDoux. Here’s what she had to say.
Q&A with Kellie Gnauck
Wild. Wild. Wild.
My favourite parts to perform are the scene for “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” with Glenn, it’s a really lovely intimate moment between Strat and Raven... and getting to sing “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” every night is an absolute dream. For the song that I’m not on stage for... Out of the Frying Pan because it's such a feel-good number and you can see how much fun everyone is having on stage together!
I think I’d want to be Falco because Paradise looks like such a laugh, and you get to play with the fourth wall a lot more which I love.
Anything with Ginger in it!
Oh, I’m not sure...I try to not support fast fashion or companies like Amazon when I can avoid it, this might sound really boring but I’m hoping to paint a feature wall in my living room, and the paint company I like is having a Black Friday sale so I might do some decorating. The treat will be when it’s all finished!

From as early as I can recall, writing has always been my passion. Being able to combine this with my love for theatre has been a rewarding and exhilarating experience. I truly believe that there is magic in seeing a story brought to life on stage, and this is what I would like to promote to audiences.
