Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight surrounded by his wife Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends.
His amazing career spanned 6 decades that saw him sell over 100 Million albums worldwide and star in over 65 movies, including “Fight Club”, “Focus”, “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Wayne’s World.”
“Bat Out of Hell” remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time.
We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.
We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time.
From his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!

I had the privilage of witnessing Penny & Pound Theatre Productions' new original musical Curiouser last night at the Cambridge Arts Theatre. It is a story about the mind of Charles Dodgson and how his upbringing and the people around him, along with his imagination and curiousity, made him into the beloved Lewis Carroll. There are two more shows left, both today at 1 pm and 7pm. I highly recommend you run out and catch it if you can. Very impressive young voices, beautiful songs by Lori Robinson Distel and inspired book by Piper J. Distel. Features a live seven piece orchestra. Mirvish needs to catch this one. It's future is very bright. Here is the online playbill if you are curious about Curiouser. Well done everyone!

The "On Stage with Sandy" column got shut down in March 2020 due to Covid-19 along with live theatre everywhere. It has been a long frustrating wait, but now, it's back as theatre groups are gradually opening their doors longing to hear the laughter, applause and enjoyment of audiences. Audiences have been Covid tested, vaccinated and masked for safety, and the actors are immensely relieved to be on stage again. In November 2021 it was Cambridge Community Players' turn with Burs of a Feather. And during the first weekend of December it will be Penny & Pound Theatre Productions' turn at the same venue, Cambridge Arts Centre, with Curiouser: A New Musical About the Mind Behind Wonderland. Read the December 2021 issue of On Stage With Sandy for more. Enjoy. And thank you for supporting live theatre.
