| I remember when "Dance of the Vampires" was around everyone was talking about laughing hearing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in a musical but I had the same thought as you - had Steinman really been able to debut his music in musicals, "Total Eclipse" would have been a pretty radical showtune. But it's so weighted down with 80's nostalgia that it can't be taken seriously like that now. Same with the music in "Bat," (I haven't seen it onstage, though.) Steinman's out there, but he really can be quite clever in what he does. (And I love that he's out there.) |
