A tribute show in which a live cast of West End singers, including stars of the West End production of 'Bat Out of Hell', perform Meat Loaf anthems by candlelight.
Meat Loaf By Candlelight comes to the Congress Theatre on Saturday 31 October, a tribute to the music of Meat Loaf staged by Concerts By Candlelight. The whole thing is performed by candlelight rather than under typical concert lighting, so the room is lit by the warm, intimate glow of candles instead of the usual stage rigs.
Fronting the show is a live cast of West End singers, among them stars of the West End production of Bat Out of Hell. They're backed by a live rock band that gives the ballads their original drive, so it's a full band on stage rather than a stripped-back arrangement. The set leans on Meat Loaf's most iconic anthems — the songs that built his following and remain staples of soft rock and arena pop.
Among those are 'Anything For Love', 'Bat Out of Hell', 'Two Out of Three Ain't Bad' and 'Dead Ringer for Love', so you'll recognise the big ones. The cast is drawn from the West End, and the Bat Out of Hell connection brings in singers who've worked on the stage version of the album, which should give the whole thing a bit of theatrical weight.
