Saw a preview of the show in Cologne yesterday.
Unfortunately they changed the character of Meat Loaf to Ozzy Osbourne for the German version too, like in Vegas.

...is there any change we will get to see the Cologne-show too!?

Sorry for the late reply:

the 7 main charcters (roles) of the original London version were named:
Pop, Kashoggi, Galileo, Scaramouche, Killer Queen, Britney (Spears) and Meat (Loaf).
In Cologne, as well as in Vegas before, they "replaced" Meat by Ozzy Osbourne(and Britney by Jeanette Biedermann, a German Britney Spears clone). Again, these are just a famous names of a character in the show, no other connections to the real artist. But very good promotion nevertheless.

We had the Meat change over to Ozzy in Vegas, but still had Brittany.

@ Michael:
And what about the show? The music etc.? Would you recommend it, I was planning to go there. Perhaps you could tell us a little bit.
