# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Celebrating Meat Loaf: BAT 50  The Neverland Express + Andrew Polec
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Apr, 2027 at 07:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: This live show is the only authentic reimagining of the legendary Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman songbook, performed by world-class alumni of The Neverland Express who brought his musical visions to life both in the studio and live on stages across the world.

Led by Meat Loaf’s longtime record producer/music director/guitarist Paul Crook alongside fellow alumni John Miceli (drums), Randy Flowers (guitar), Lyssa Lynne (female lead/backing vocals), Danny Miranda (bass) and including Andy Ascolese (piano) and Kiley Baxter (featured vocals), the band performs a thoughtfully curated set list of Meat Loaf’s best loved classics such as “Bat Out of Hell,” “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “I’d Do Anything for Love.”

The band is fronted by Andrew Polec, who originated the lead role of Strat in Jim Steinman’s Bat Out of Hell: The Musical (UK, Toronto and NYC) and won the Stage Debut Award for Best West End Debut. Critics and audiences praised him for delivering one of the most demanding vocals in a rock production, a role built around the Meat Loaf catalog and Jim Steinman’s unmistakable sound. He delivers the theatricality, the vocal intensity and the emotional DNA of this music.
