What to Watch For:

• Did you know that Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf were first introduced to one another through musical theatre? They worked together in 1973 on the Vietnam War-themed musical More Than You Deserve at the Public Theater in New York.

• In Bat Out of Hell there’s 19 Meat Loaf hits. Throughout one performance, the musicians use more than 1,000 pieces of sheet music - That’s a lot of notes!

• If you’re a keen Meat Loaf fan, then you’ll love the two unreleased songs included in the show: “Not Allowed to Love” and “What Part of My Body Hurts the Most.”

• Jim Steinman is a musical genius. As well as working on Meat Loaf songs, he’s also behind Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and Boyzone's "No Matter What".
