No, you are foolish if you believe that the general theater going public are going to care about hearing certain Meat Loaf songs. Meat Loaf fans as a whole aren't going to travel to London or New York to see a Bat show that doesn't have Meat in it. It has to succeed as a piece of theater, and that requires it to have a solid story and not just be a bunch of Bat songs shoehorned into a script. Like it or not it is Neverland... not the 1977 Neverland... I feel Jim will hire some script doctor who doesn't understand the show's heart and will make it more commercial and less meaningful... but at its heart it has to be a solid story to succeed.
