Celebrating Meat Loaf

Saturday, October 28, 2023 @ 8:00pm



Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC)
100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960

Celebrate the legendary Meat Loaf and experience his hit songs performed brilliantly by The Neverland Express plus American Idol winner, Caleb Johnson. As a special Halloween season bonus, the band adds hit songs from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. In addition to playing both Eddie and Dr. Scott in the stage musical, Meat Loaf reprised his role of the luckless delivery driver Eddie in the hit film version and sang the showstopper “Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul”.

The Neverland Express includes world-class alumni of Meat Loaf’s official band. Led by his Record Producer, Music Director, Guitarist, Paul Crook with drummer, John Miceli, guitarist, Randy Flowers and female lead vocalist, Lyssa Lynne, the band stays true to the original recordings while delivering the excitement of a live Meat Loaf show.

In addition to a #1 album and touring with some of the biggest names in rock, Caleb Johnson is the winner of American Idol season 13. He delivers his own unique stamp to such classics as “Bat Out of Hell”, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “I Would Do Anything For Love” while staying true to the essence of Meat Loaf’s delivery.

Created & produced by Paul Crook, this is the only show that was officially endorsed by Meat Loaf.
