Music, Book and Lyrics by Jim Steinman. Based on the Bat Out of Hell album by Meat Loaf. TEG Dainty. Qudos Bank Arena Sydney. January 27, 2023
True believers in the music of Meat Loaf got their money’s worth, enjoying the lightning bolts of beautiful singing and a terrific band.
However general theatre goers were left scratching their heads at some aspects of the production, which one audience member described to me as ‘high school standard.’
The leads curiously had hand-held microphones, and awkwardly mixed performing to a roving camera, and other times to each other. The camera angles during the dialogue were at times clunky and poorly lit.
