At the time of writing, AT LEAST one of the above is correct (maybe two).

Surely Bad for Good, Lost Boys & Golden Girls and All Revved Up will be there? I mean they were written for it, no?

I'm really concerned that this musical may lack popular appeal. Ticket sales for Manchester have been terrible....partly due to ridiculous admission prices.
I am also surprised that Steinman hasn't included Total Eclipse of the heart, Holding Out for a hero, No matter what etc to add to its mainstream appeal. Meat Loaf is not popular with young people anymore unfortunately. The average guy on the street is lucky if he can name three of Meat's songs. |

You could've said that about Queen ten years ago - relatively speaking - and yet WWRY was and is huge. I'd worry less about Meat's perceived 'popularity', and concentrate on the musical as an entity of its own Last edited by ThatWriterGuy; 13 Nov 2016 at 17:21. |

Literally all three are already in successful musicals; in order of completion, "No Matter What" was in Whistle Down the Wind, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was in Tanz der Vampire, and "Holding Out for a Hero" was in the stage version of Footloose. (Having said that, it didn't stop Jim from claiming the bulk of a song that was already in Tanz, but it's safe to say anything he co-wrote ["No Matter What" with Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Hero" with Dean Pitchford] is harder to claim.)

Yes I still count 3 to be named (as there has only been 14 of Meat's songs so far.)
I think Pig could be one with it not appearing the Batman the musical and probably would be sung by Falco for my money. If there are 3 "new" tracks, I would have thought they would have announced all three at the same time. The thing is I can't actually think of a third that hasn't been floating around with the exception of Graveyard Shift and Wonderful Toys which i think are too Batman orientated unless there has been a lot of rewriting. So just have to wait and see on that one. Of the other Meat ones I would still expect the rest of Bat to be completed. |

You are joking? They seem extremely reasonable to me compared to many provincial theatres

With a seemingly young and vibrant cast, and rock opera songs that have consistently drawn audiences from ages 7 to 70 when Meat has toured, I'd think they have covered the bases pretty well! |

Im actually surprised at the amount of enthusiasm about this.
I personally cannot wait, but its interesting to see people who used to think only Meat can do these songs, support this. Or is it just cause Meat has endorsed it and promoted it and Jims producing it? If thats the case, thats just wrong. I guarantee if meat didnt promote it this, this would be met with more trepidation by the non-Steinman diehards (yes, theirs a split in this community that splits between Jim and Meat). Not dissimilar to the whole tribute discussions. It was a VERY smart move to have Meat come out and do a press tour. Dream Engine back in 2006 wasnt as universally supported and was even classified as a tribute show (which isn't an insult) by some. I was a learker once and I remember. Guess why? Meat wasnt involved. All im hoping for is It Just Won't Quit. a mass audience needs to be exposed to that one. Im glad at least something like this is getting (almost) universally supported. Cannot wait for the broadway version to hit. And I hope this musical begins to mend this split in the fan community that absolutely sucks. Team MLUKFC and Team Rockman need to be merged. honestly. If everyone from rockman comes here and theres a Jim subforum our community would be so strong. Right now its not. |

There actually isn't a 'wrong' reason to be enthusiastic or not enthusiastic about the play. Whatever reason you have is the right decision for you. |

I'm a bit apprehensive about this musical to be honest. I will probably go at some point. But the story sounds like Shrek. I hope there is a bit more to it because beyond gimmicks and good songs I ultimately think the story is really centrepiece. These days I like the fact that musical writers have been a bit more daring to look beyond the simple guy rescuing a girl and match made in heaven as the main driving force love story (see Wicked & Frozen). Nevertheless I am very impressed the musical is happening after all this time and it is coming together. Hope it will be successful and of course very good.
