The Meat Loaf Story

Steve Steinman and his entourage returned to Nottingham for another performance of The Meat Loaf Story.

This time around there was a noticeable change in the band line up. Female lead vocalist Zoe Sharmin is no longer with the show, instead she has been replaced with three backing vocalists who carry out the vocal duties throughout the show.

It would be unfair to try and compare the new vocalists with Zoe, as they have all got bags of talent, so it would be best to say that the new vocalists bring a different feel to the show, but in a good way! I’m pretty certain this is how Meat Loaf used to have his band set up in some of his recent tours.

With it being a Meat Loaf tribute act, it pretty much does what it says on the tin… it is a show crammed full of the best bits from Meat Loafs career, and Mr Steinman impeccably belts out the vocals as well as copying all of the characteristic movements of Meat Loaf.

Two of the backing vocalists, Jodie and Harriet, take it in turn to perform solo songs originally sung by Cher and Bonnie Tyler. Both Jodie and Harriet are an absolute pleasure to listen to live, and they give the Meat Loaf Story that extra ‘wow’ factor which makes it one of the best Meat Loaf tribute shows around. As good as Steve Steinman is, without these vocalists there would be nothing special to differentiate it from a thousand other tribute acts!

Jodie also takes on the role of being the lead female vocalist throughout the show and she manages to do it with relative ease. Her energetic, youthful, playful, vibrant personality compliments Steve’s slow, dramatic, passionate personality extremely well.


With so many great songs to choose from it was obvious that not all of the great Meat Loaf tracks would be covered- however the major hits and classic tracks were all covered including ‘I’d Do Anything For Love, But I Won’t Do That’, ‘Bat Out of Hell’, ‘Modern Girl’, ‘For Crying Out Loud’, ‘Paradise By The Dashboard Light’ and even ‘Timewarp’ from the Rocky Horror picture show was included.

Steve, Jodie and Harriet keep the audience entertained with the vocals, but without the superbly talented backing band they would have no show, nd to be honest words would not do the band justice with regards to just how talented they are!

Once again Steve and his entourage have provided an entertaining evening, and now that I have seen them numerous times I can safely say that you are guaranteed a great evening out every time with this show!!
