Have you ever seen a tape or film of it? Would it be worth resurrecting? I have just looked it up in Meat Loaf's book, and it sounds like that will probably never happen. He writes: "Besides my character, there was another maniac involved in the production: Jim Stienman. "More Than You Deserve" began as a play with a bit of music in it. One or two songs in both acts. Jim talked Michael Weller into turning it into a full-blown musical. It's not that the music wasn't any good, but Jim was trying to make it into something bigger than it was. They tried to make this weird black comedy into a big Broadway musical. The first time we performed it, we did it with some wooden boxes and a table and an upright piano. Then they brought in all these people, black gospel singers, dancers, a choreographer. It was insane. They put snow flock on the Christmas tree, and you know how tacky that is. Then they hung red balls on it - and strings of popcorn. They totally ruined the play." BTW, I love your Meerkat picture. I love the way he says: "Simples!" He's my favourite character on telly. That picture could compete with the picture that Markus posted (in reply to your "Bye Bye" post) as the funniest picture posted in the history of Rockman. | |
