Not exactly, but you're closer than you think. Jim Steinman wrote most of the songs that came to be included on Bat Out of Hell for a musical called, "Neverland," a variation of the Peter Pan story relocated to the coast of Southern California and taking place in the future. This was produced by the Musical Theatre Lab at the Kennedy Center in 1977.
(To download a facsimile copy of the program for the production, click here.) The production was directed by Barry Keating, who also played the part of the Historian in the play. Orchestra Luna was the band for the production. The band at that time included (in the order listed in the program) Rick Kinscherf, Bob Brandon, Chet Cahill, Steve Perry, Karla DeVito, Liz Gallagher, Peter Barrett, and Ace Holleran.
Karla would, of course, later tour with Meat Loaf as he performed virtually the same songs from the musical as recorded on Bat Out of Hell. As far as I know, Meat Loaf was not involved in the production or performance of the play. One ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
