Somewhere in the middle of this is Dave Bryan, from 'Memphis' and 'Toxic Avenger' who comes from Bon Jovi but was never the band's principal songwriter. I think with Jim Steinman, there's a big difference between writing theatrical music and writing for the theater. Yes, his songs are big and emotional and tell these long, romantic stories, but they also tend to be exhausting and two or three hours of them is relentless, even in a Meat Loaf concert, let alone in a theater where there is usually more of a series of big and small moments along the way. They can't ALL be seven minute epics.
