No as a journalist it is your job to properly impart the facts. What Journalism school did you go to? You don't say it is a Meat Loaf musical when Meat has Fuck All to do with it. If you must drag Meat's name in to make it understandable to the audience then you can say it is a Musical that uses the songs Jim Steinman wrote for Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell Album. Or you could be even more accurate and say that is a reincarnation of a musical that Jim wrote in the 60's and 70's the songs of which were then turned into Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell album. Calling it a Meat Loaf musical makes people believe Meat is writing it or appearing in it... neither of which is true.

A new project will always be associated with the

Because he has fuck all to do with it.

All successful. TDV extremely so. WDTW moderately so... it did run for like 2 years on the west end and was something like the longest running show at the Aldrych.

Then you need to get a thicker skin. As a journalist you should be offended by other journalists sullying the name of your profession by putting out such shoddy journalism.
