bat out of hell the musical

[eddy<meat-loaf>rocky]

hi

dose any one know any info about the bat out of hell musical all i found was this statement on this website http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/bat-out-of-hell-coming-to-london-first.html

if any one knows how its going or knows when tickets go on sale please can the let me know

As much as I have respect for the absolutely brilliant composer Jim Steinman I personally am not getting my hopes up at all for this.

[daveake]

That article was basically written from Jim's blog, where he explained his plans for the show. The whole thing may or may not happen. The place and the content and everything else about the show may differ from what was said. My personal feeling is that it has about a 50:50 chance of happening.

latest "news" say that it might premiere in summer 2010.

[~Helen~]

Personally I would be excited by it and definately making a trip to see it if it happened but, like the others I am not holding my breath!!

Wasn't there a rumour at the beginning of the year that Jim would be producing an album with that welsh bloke from XFactor (Rhydian I think?)...that never seemed to happen so far (or if it did, I haven't heard about it!)

[daveake]

Some of these rumours go from "I'd like to work with Jim" to "Jim is writing my first album" in less time than it takes to play one of Jim's songs ...

while i would love to see it happen, cause I really liked whistle down the wind, I'd say 2010 is being generous as a release

The lates rumour on that one was that the release seemed to be rushed to much so Jim jumped off board, though the mentioned release date of April 08 vanished loooong ago.
I'll definitely go and see the BOOH musical and would try to get tickets for the premiere and everything, but this is just another case of wait and see...

[meatloaf-unofficial]

All I know is that:

a) it could now be 2010, not 2009
b) domains named: batoutofhellmusical.com and batoutofhellthemusical.com are purchased by SONY BMI, which means
c) apparently a website is being launched is due course......

[AndyK]

c) apparently a website is being launched is due course......


Or they've been bought now while they're cheap to avoid someone jumping on the bandwagon and trying to profit from selling the domains at an inflated price should the show ever happen

well yes, but batoutofhellthemusical says: Website Coming Soon - provided by Signitures Network, the company that work with Meats website....

But your prob correct :-)

[RadioMaster]

provided by Signitures Network, the company that work with Meats website....


so that means theyll charge you 40$ a year to let you buy tickets??



there's also a website batmusical.com, wonder which retarded idiot is responsible for this :bleh: :p

:twisted: Oh great, "coming soon" from the people who brought you the great Meat Loaf ticket pre-sale :lmao:

Actually, the speed Jimmy works at, this could be the perfect partnership :up:



I love Jimmy for giving the world Bat, but sorry, i'm not too keen on this Cirque du Soleil thing :?

Yes, I know, if you don't go over the top you'll never know what's on the other side, but I just hope that what is on the other side is bigger, brighter, and more splendid than a clown on a bike doing stunt jumps and lighting his own farts :wtf:


Saying that the show will be like Cirque du Soleil is like openly saying we liked the idea so we stole it.
Whatever happened to the ethos of doing stuff nobody else was doing?
I thought the music alone was unique enough without turning it into a side show.


What I think would be better (and more commercial) is a good story that is told by the songs.


BTW Jim, i've still got all those notes and script segments from the musical I wrote a while back using the work between you and Meat, call me and it might be worth your while :mrgreen:

[meatloaf-unofficial]

one second - can I re-alter my original post before it goes further. I made a mistake; its "Network Solutions" - sorry guys :oops: :-? :wall:

I'm off for a second to bang my head against a brick wall... lol

Keep banging .. :-)

The first domain you mentioned is owned by Sony BMGl the second is owned by "Let 's Escape Inc.", a company owned (in part at least) by Steven Rinkoff. I can't remember if Jim also partly owns the latter or not.

Thanks for putting me straight - a slight mistake, but that Steven Rinkoff rings a bell

[RadioMaster]

he rings more than just a bell :kickass:

So you've actually seen Dean ~~~~~~~~~~ in concert have you?

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Actually I was hoping that role would be reserved for David Sonnenberg, but now you mention it, ... :mrgreen:


I'm off to moderate myself now, but dammit it was worth it :lmao:

[Battybarb]

ROFPMSL..........................

[wolfy35]

well yes, but batoutofhellthemusical says: Website Coming Soon - provided by Signitures Network, the company that work with Meats website....

So going by their excellent record they will be putting tickets out for presale 2 weeks after the musical has finished, The website will come a little after that because they dont like rushing things.

Thats not fair Neil. I dont think ~~~~~~~~~~ has ever been an original anything merely a self important poor quality copy

Well, it wouldn't be for posting off-topic, as the be-wigged one has actually been hassling Jim for a part in the musical!

Good grief

[Jayd]

Any news on this as I can't find diddly ? Or is the whole thing one big car crash, as the tiltle song is based on ? :(

[RadioMaster]

well, Mr Steinman still says he's working hard on it. That's basically all we've heard so far...

[Jayd]

Just a bit of a update, of how things are would be good, seeing as it's rumoured to start next year, thought we might have had a bit more info. :?

[RadioMaster]

just incase you dont know yet, the Steinman board under www.jimsteinman.com/messageboard is usually the best place to look for news and infos.

I guess, at this point speaking of a premiere in 2010 would be VERY optimistic...

Is it??

I thought it was Steven Stuart's /Mr Egg's personal blog. Wooops!!! :shock:

That message board is kinda confusing, and not much info really.

[Evil One]

A good description!

:twisted: The musical is coming.

They've been saying that about Christ for 2000 years.

The smart money is still on Christ showing up in the west end and Broadway before Bat Out Of Hell :wtf:

[RadioMaster]

meanwhile, in other Steinman musical related news: It seems that talks about a Tanz der Vampire movie are more frequent lately than they used to. Would be a nice thing to see especially after Sweeney Todd showed us that movie adaptions of musicals can still be successful.

[glockenspiel]

A 'musical' version of anything is, nine times out of ten, an abomination.

[Pudding]

That means 1 out of 10 'musical' versions of anything isn't an abomination then. Pretty good odds considering the amount of musicals that get made each year.

[Devil's Son]

well, Mr Steinman still says he's working hard on it. ...

:roll: this is what I call news.

[wolfy35]

Had an email yesterday saying that I would be contacted "In due course" with ticket and pricing information...... but wont hold my breath just yet.

Also had youtube clip that was posted to me by the automatic reccomendations system of someone's vid where he comments that Jim had personally approached him to play the lead role. Is this true or another of his now famous ego trips?

i hope it happens one day? but to be honest anything that involves jim these days is a long and drawn out saga!! the name its self would make sure it got great financial backing, and this would mean the people paying for it would want results! ive seen the fans over on the steinman page all in a muddle to whats going on? and it seems to me there is one or two people making most of the info up? lots of crap imo,, also claiming they are woking with jim on it!! :lol::lol: , so its a mess at the moment!! but maybe one day? i would love to see it!

Instead of lurking why not post over on 'the other side' Fresh blood is always appreciated. :shrug:

i would if it was not for all the meat bashing that goes on [ not being filthy ]
i would be in too many fights:D,
but i know there are some good people over there as well!!

[Evil One]

It's a bit of a misconception that it is full of meat bashers. It is just a couple of people who are more vocal than most. Nothing wrong with a good fight.

In a similar vain there are also a couple of 'meat bashers' who are generally more vocal than most! :devil:

[wolfy35]

It's a sad fact that people who are intent on pulling someone down or criticising are often more vocal than others simply because they think they are the only ones who are right and they have to convince everyone else of their point of view
