| I think a great many people will assume its Meat Loaf related, regardless of pre- or sub- titling. And in fact, it IS, if you figure the show will feature at least 25% of songs that the public associates with Meat Loaf. "I am the entertainer, I've come to do my show. You've heard my latest record, its been on the radio. It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life. It was a beautiful song but it ran too long if you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit so they cut it down to 3:05." - Billy Joel, "The Entertainer" God, what a damn fine song. > But does it say exactly what it is? > > I don't think the 'public' are gonna pick-up from just > 'Bat Out of Hell', that it is a musical based on Peter > Pan. > > Ask anyone in the street what the musical is about, and > they're probably gonna say Meat Loaf, greatest hits, life > story? > > I think they need to reference Peter Pan in a sub-title? > > > > Jim Steinman's > > BAT OUT of HELL > > > > It's very simple, says exactly what it is, and emphasizes > > that it has always been Jim's baby.
