Entertaining, Funny, Great singing

See it if you enjoy talented singers and dancers and enjoy the music of Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy their music or prefer more lovely, melodic, charming American musicals.

Semi-raunchy, Darkly-twisted humor, Disjointed and messy writing, Great music/singing, Energetic

See it if you want to see a different type of jukebox musical that's a bit more imaginative, strange, & edgy than the typical fare, though imperfect.

Don't see it if uncomfortable / offended by some sexuality--in good fun here, mostly; you dislike the use of video screens ; not a fan of Meat Loaf’s music. Read more

I cannot tell a lie: a guilty pleasure

See it if you are a Jim Steinman fan. I am not, really. But friends wanted to go and I reluctantly agreed.

Don't see it if you loathe most jukebox musicals, as I do, and have never been a Meat Loaf fan. Read more

Delightful, Entertaining, Great singing, Great staging

See it if you're a fan of Jim Steinmen's music, this is a must. The actors sing the hell out of his songbook. You'll enjoy it more as a concert.

Don't see it if you don't like Meatloaf's music. The best thing about the show is the music. The story that ties all the songs together is weak.

Entertaining, Edgy, Great singing

See it if You live meatloaf music. If you live high energy shows. If you love great singing

Don't see it if You don’t like loud music

Quirky, Funny, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy Meatloaf music. If you love Lena Hall. If you are up for anything.

Don't see it if You want a straight up traditional broadway show. This is definitely something else.

Entertaining, Singalong, Silly, Fun, Camp

See it if You want to experience your Meat Loaf music songbook come alive. Don’t overthink and just have FUN. It’s a riot!

Don't see it if You won’t do anything for Love. Not even this.

Just silly at times, Funny, Great singing, Confusing, Entertaining

See it if Like Jim Steinman/Meatloaf music or shows that seem like a rock concert. There are talented vocals for every song!

Don't see it if Loud music, explosions and a nonsensical plot bothers you. Read more
