The original vocalist on one of the most famous power ballads of all time will star at Consett’s Empire Theatre next month.
Newcastle-born Lorraine Crosby was the female lead vocalist on Meat Loaf’s hit duet I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) when it topped the charts the world over in the early 90s.
Lorraine is also well known for her live performances alongside such superstars as Bonnie Tyler.
Now the singer, nicknamed Mrs Loud, is joining forces with highly-acclaimed showman and Meat Loaf tribute performer, Steve Steinman, in a brand new production featuring over 25 of Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman’s greatest hits.
The pair will take to the stage on Saturday 14 March at 7.30pm, in a show set to have audiences on their feet dancing and singing out loud to favourites such as Anything For Love, Bat Out Of Hell, Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, Total Eclipse Of The Heart and many more.
Anything For Love – The Meat Loaf Story, follows Steinman’s sell-out 2019 national tour and combines fantastic vocal performances with an incredible stage set and ten-piece live band.
Nicola Dailly, arts programme manager at the venue, said: “Anything for Love takes tribute theatre to a new level. Steve is one of the best tribute acts there is and now that Meat Loaf himself has stopped touring, is the closest audiences can get to the seeing the real thing.
“Steve has a great sense of humour and stage presence and, paired with Lorraine’s talent, the show is set to be an awesome night of rock classics and ballads.”
Tickets for Anything For Love, priced at £28 are available to book online at www.empireconsett.co.uk, in person from the Empire’s box office or over the telephone on 03000 262 400.
