Amusing, but utterly wrong!! ... Except for the obvious. You got BAT right, though.

Yea people forget this isn't a Meat Loaf show; I saw Steve Steinman's The Meat Loaf Story AND Vampires Rock; It's all Jimmy's vision, though confirmed on the website:
Quote:
[SPOILER]PIG is used prominently in the live show during a "feverish"factory scene, where the oppressed workers (are there any other kind?) sing LIFE IS A LEMON and, high above them, the POWERS THAT BE sing "IN THE LAND OF THE PIG, THE BUTCHER IS KING.[/SPOILER] Teased in Jim's blog back in 2006!! This will be a bombastic, thrilling, rocking, dramatic perhaps even funny show. Waiting impatiently to get paid so I can buy tickets........ |

I have to admit I was on the fence about seeing this. I'm a bit closed-minded when it comes to Jim Steinman songs. There are two people I'm happy to see singing them: Meat, and myself.
That said, I'll be there for it. Manchester is close enough and it'll be fascinating at very least. |

Too bad I can't make it to the musical next year. My holidays are fully booked with the inlaws moving to another country. I read somewhere that the musical will do an european tour. So I hope they will perform it in Holland, Belgium or western Germany. |

Meat also said he is hoping to take a role in the show!
I'd be very surprised if he isn't on the red carpet press night. Yes this is Jimmy's show but 'BAT OUT OF HELL' as a name is connected to Meat & Jim. Booked for Sat 18th February 2017. 5 of us going!! Last edited by Danny L; 02 Jul 2016 at 17:54. |

I think he said he WOULD like to be in it, because he genuinely loves the script .. but has also said he couldn't manage the demands of theatre productions now; so many shows a week would not give him the time he needs to rest his voice between performances.

I think that producers would stay away from any melodies that have made it into Tanz so Objects and Total Eclipse are probably out in their full form. Although 'bright eyes' and lyrics from Objects probably will pop up. Loving the idea of a female performer leading Heaven Can Wait (Bette Midler's demo is beautiful)
I think that one of Jim's best melodies is Milady (or Fur Sarah in Tanz) such a shame that this won't feature. Still trying to find a cast recording of Garbo the musical! Meat recording 'Body' for the cast album would be the coup of the century! It might possibility be his last hit single a la 'hurt' by Jonny Cash. |

I'm thinking about asking Jim if I can make a series of posts and just talk a bit about what I've been doing and how involved I've been ... but I'm on the fence about it. I don't know -- does that sound like a good idea? There's every chance Jim might say 'no', or he'll want me to hold off until closer to the time, but in theory, if it happens, who would be interested? |

I think if "Objects" IS in the show, then they should take exception, as that was Bat 2 first, and one of the singles too. It would be awkward for me to ignore that. Besides, I like the idea of having the two different versions. I wouldn't want to see "Total eclipse" though, as that wasn't a Bat track either. So why?
