Take it from someone who has -- the arrangements are incredible. As far as the story is concerned, what you've read on the Internet is akin to the blurb you'd read on the back of a book, and nothing more (90% of that blurb is the most basic and unforgiving plot points regurgitated into 'everyman' speech. What you get in the press isn't even 10% of the story and scope of the musical).
If you were expecting a safe, sanitary, by-the-numbers 'cabaret' style production, or a rock n roll 'retread', well, maybe this one isn't for you. There are aspects of BAT that have never been done on a stage live before (and things that have never been attempted in musical theatre).
Bottom line: Jim's story, Jim's music. If you've enjoyed his Bat related output so far (and you're here, so I'll assume that you have), then there's a pretty good chance that you'll find something to like in this, too
