    The fact that they are now both jd and Veronica in the same heathers production makes me so happy

    The fact that they had to get a police bike escort from the theatre to the proms then had to get the same again to get back to the theatre for their afternoon performance just shows how much character and how much endurance they both have

    I think what a lot of you seem to be missing, is that this was as open air as you could get and can you imagine how difficult it must be to sing in those circumstances? Even Michael Ball did not sound a patch on how he does in the theatre. I have seen Jordan as Strat more than once and can assure you he is worthy of filling Andrew’s massive boots. I adore Andrew and he will always be the original Strat but people have to move on.

    I loved Andrew and yes Jordan’s got big shoes to fill but of course he knows that. I’ve seen Jordan as Strat before Andrew left and he did a brilliant job, met him after and he’s the nicest guy. Performing on a stage like this is a lot harder than at the dominion too, I think he’s doing great!

    Saw this at the Dominion last week. It was awesome, great chemistry, fab voices. So glad Jim Steinman managed to get his Booh music out as it was intended for, on the musical theatre stage.

    to those confused in the comments, andrew polec ( og strat ) left the west end production a couple of weeks ago to rehearse and eventually play strat in the american bat out of hell tour. the strat on stage here is jordan luke gage, who used to play blake in the show but has taken over the role of strat following andrew’s departure!

    In that case, he has grown into the role very quickly. I saw the show last night and it was awesome. They didn't seem to be uncomfortable kissing at all. All of the vocal performances were amazing, there wasn't a single soloist I didn't like (and there's usually one at least that lets a show down). To top it all, after performing for two and a half hours, the cast then stood with buckets as the audience left, collecting for the distinguished gentleman's ride (including the main characters) - I hope they got a huge amount of donations for this worthy cause.

    I miss andrew, i know Patrick may need time to absorve the role (much time), but my impression is tha patrick sings the song, but andrew and meat loaf, lived the song and they vibe with every chord, i hope patrick would adapt with some time and be a good strat, no the case by the moment

    The problem is not his voice, he has a better voice then Andrew. In my Opinion Andrew was the better actor, but the thing that is really missing is the chemistry between him and Christina eg. at 2:57. It just looks like they dont want to kiss at all... dunno it feels weird xD

      Yes, Andrew is back in the US heading the US tour of Bat Out Of Hell. I have mentioned that I'll see him in San Francisco on Dec. 8. Merry Christmas to me, AND my brother and SIL. I'll tell ya one thing, you Brits are blessed to have the West End and how cheap it is. When I was in London last October I say 6 musicals, haunted Leicester Square, and great seats for soooo cheap. I'm paying 133.00 per seat in San Francisco. It's worth it.

    • @Itsdarkmoons
      @Itsdarkmoons 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are sooooooo lucky! it looks absolutely amazing! I listen to the music everyday I just love it. personally I like Andrew more at this role, he comes across more passionate about it all. Plus the chemistry between him and Christina is beautiful to just watch.
      I'm actually from the uk but not near London unfortunately lol. I hope you both have a great time.

      I have seen some publicity excerpts with the new Christina that is doing the show with Andrew in the US. I am trying to get over seeing him with Christina, but I don't like the pairing. The actress is a great singer but she's too coarse, too big, not as "fragile" as Christina and I always liked that. I think she and Andrew always had a vulnerability that made the parts and made them so good together. It's not fair, I'll give the girl a chance, have no other option. I can't find out anything about Ledeux and who's playing him. They have listed cast members for Falco,Sloane, Zahara, Tink, and a couple of others, but no mention of Ledeux. At any rate I'm excited to see it.

    @wdouglas4062 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    There is no comparison. AP was Strat. He created the part, he became a Steinman disciple, and he was really in love with Christina. He was living out the play. Judging by what he did after BOOH he is not a great actor and he hasn't done much else. He said in interviews that Meat Loaf told him he had to consume the songs and make them part of himself. He was enthralling as Strat because he became Strat. The other guy was just playing a part in one of many shows he's done.

    West End and Broadway Rock musicals, what do they do? Target the most theatrically OTT performances in rock history by such as Queen (We Will Rock You), 80s hair bands (Rock of Ages), and Meatloaf (Bat Out Of Hell), and embed them in a paper thin story that functions just to pass the time between songs. The music is stripped of what little wit, edge and spontaneity it had, with classical orchestrations and stage school kids who strut and skip and gurn and stare and bare their teeth in a cartoon parody of rock's raw energy and threat.
    (Something similar might be said about Mercury, Jovi and Meatloaf themselves of course!)
    A night at the theatre for people who appreciate neither authentic music nor mature drama, I guess.

      I can't say you're wrong but I still enjoyed it. It should be noted that Jim Steinman was always inclined to musicals. Its for this reason much of his music has a timeless quality. He always wanted to make musicals and that was incorporated into his music so the transfer to stage doesn't harm these songs as much as one would think.
