To the people who said Meat Loaf,
Jim Steinman, the legendary, off-the-wall writer and composer, wrote many of his biggest hits & conceived the BOOH trilogy.
However, you're in luck, because there is going to be a major earth-shattering spectacular some-time next year, "BAT OUT OF HELL: THE MUSICAL" (or as he calls it, "BAT OUT OF HELL: THE EPIC, LIVE ON STAGE!") which will be staged in a theatre especially designed and built for it, featuring death-defying motorcycling & BMX stunts, flying Russian wizards and a corps of amazing dancers from all around the globe!
Terry Jones, of Monty Python, is co-writing the script with Steinman - which is based on his big life-project, "NEVERLAND" - and Terry Gilliam (Monty Python, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen, 12 Monkeys, The Brothers Grimm etc.) is directing.
There is also going to be a movie.
So, you are in luck
From what he said, it will feature 15 songs mostly drawn from the 2 BAT albums, and three new originals. The last song, big finale closing number, is "WE'RE STILL THE CHILDREN WE ONCE WERE", a haunting new song that will be recorded FIRST by "The Dream Engine" (new group that Broadway's Rob Evan is a member of)
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
