With respect to icwuke, that's a bit of a non-story really. It reads to me as though her manager is just trying to get her an audition.

Although saying that, it's good that at least the musical is making a news article.

[The Flying Mouse]

I'm inclinded to agree with Sue.
All she is seeming to say is that she might decide to try out for the part.

What I found interesting was this..................


"my manager's told me that the Meatloaf musical Bat Out Of Hell is coming to London"


"the meatloaf musical", not "the Jim Steinman musical".

I'm probably opening the biggest nastiest can of rotton worms here (what do I mean "probably? ) but I think people will accociate this musical more with Meat than Jim.

The only reason i'm bringing that up is that i'm wondering what the musical content will be.

I think the lay man will expect this show to be full of Meat Loaf hits, but if it is a mix of some songs performed by Meat with a lot of other Steinman material thrown in, I don't think that the punters will be getting what they think they're paying for.


I think the only way around that would be to have on the promo material.........

"featuring songs made famous by Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Air Supply, Pandora's Box" etc etc.


Unless all the songs in the show are ones that have been made famous by Meat, in which case there isn't a problem

[Evil One]

Her manager is non other than David Sonenberg. Coincidentally Jim Steinman's manager is David Sonenberg.

[The Flying Mouse]

If even David Sodenberg is calling this the "Meat Loaf musical", then that must tell you something.

[Pudding]

And isn't David Sonenberg also Paula Abduls manager? lets hope (or not hope ) his negotiating skills are a little better than what they were in getting a new contract for Paula on American Idol

Is it true that Mark will be the pianist in the Bat Out of Hell musical?

Jim asked him on facebook and he said yes. that is all we know

[Evil One]

I really doubt Jim would use Facebook to fill such an important role.

You mean he's unlikely to post on my wall with an offer of the lead in the musical

I am so disenchanted right now

I'm pretty sure that the musical will happen, but remember we're talking about Jim timescales and he thinks nothing of spending years getting something the way he wants.

As for the "Meat Load Musical" thing, it's a sad fact of life that most people's brains don't stretch far enough to realise that the man behind the mike isn't necessarily the man behind the music. It's unfortunately too much to expect to think that reporters will suddenly start mentioning Jim first and Meat second. Once the official press releases start flowing it will be a bit different, but not much.


Dave

No disrespect intended to Jim but why would the general public have any clue who he is or what he has accomplished except for his association with Meat Loaf?
I want to see the musical be a success but I really think that if Meat is not involved in some way, I have doubts of its success.
Common sense dictates a marketing strategy based around Meat backing Jim's musical. Meat is hot right now and has a lot more name recognition.
Like it or not Bat out of Hell will always be linked to Meat Loaf.
