It’s wild, it’s fun, it has everything
Bat Out Of Hell is rocking its way across the UK with its larger than life production values and stellar cast. Swing and Assistant Dance Captain Jayme-Lee Zanoncelli tells us about her experience in the show and why you should take a trip to see it!
For anyone that hasn’t seen Bat Out of Hell, can you explain a little bit about the show?
I would describe Bat out of Hell as a gothic love story. Shown musically, by the intricate and theatrical song writing by Jim Steinman as well as visually on stage. It’s unapologetically “out there.” There’s nothing else like it.
What do you think makes the show appeal you both old and new fans of Jim Steinman/Meatloaf?
I think for the old fans, the show gives them a chance to reminisce and enjoy the music they love so much. Even for the newer fans, Jim & Meatloaf’s music is exciting and unique. The characters are vibrant, the set is epic of course, fire, lighting and explosions all add to the experience.
What’s your favourite song to sing and what’s your favourite song that you don’t sing?
So many to choose from! I love All Revved Up. It’s intense and fast paced; a great opening for this show. I think my favourite song in the show is What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most. It’s song-writing at its finest.
Is there a Meatloaf song that isn’t in the show, that you wish was?
Midnight At The Lost and Found! It’s a great song!
What’s your favourite tour memory so far? Are you keeping track of the places you visit in any way?
There have been so many great memories on this tour! Our Bat Halloween party was really cool! Everyone put so much effort in.
I have kept a log of the places we have travelled to over the last 14 months. Plymouth and Edinburgh have both been memorable places for me.
In one sentence, why should people come and see the show?
Everyone should see this show. It’s wild, it’s fun, it has everything; you will not leave bored that’s for sure!
Bat Out of Hell plays at the New Victoria Theatre until November 5th and then continues it's tour
