On the Saturday 22nd March, 2025, my boyfriend Aaron treated me to an early birthday present, a ticket to Steve Steinman’s ‘Vampires Rock: Eternal Love’, at Cast Theatre, Doncaster. There was me, Aaron and our friend Lou. It was absolutely amazing!

Steve Steinman is an extremely successful writer, director and producer, a number one recording artist. In ‘Eternal Love’, 20 original songs are taken from Steinman’s epic ‘Heaven’s Gate’ and ‘Take a Leap of Faith’ number one albums. It is the third in his ‘Vampires Rock’ trilogy and has proved immensely popular. A rock musical like no other, with a mix of musical theatre, vampire seduction, electrifying rock anthems performed by extremely talented musicians, sexy dancing and Steinman’s aka Vampire Baron’s tongue in cheek hilarity 🤣🤣

Alongside his co-star, John Evans as Bosley, Reg Enderby, for the Nottingham show and gig guide reportedly said:

“Steve and John’s comedy timing brought back memories of watching the great Morecambe and Wise” (Eternal Love official programme)

The band was absolutely mint and I was not surprised to read that the dancer playing Ursula, Victoria Farley, was also the choreographer as she really stood out as being sensational. All the dancers put in great effort nonetheless

SPOILER ALERT: The storyline of the production in a sense was unrequited love. Medusa (one of the dancers played by Tanyth Roberts), is madly in love with Baron Von Rockula (Steinman), an old flame. However, he has just wed his new vampire bride, Xena Rock-Heart (Claire Zamore)… yet, all is not what it seems…

Me and some friends have already seen Steinman’s ‘Anything For Love: The Meatloaf Story’ a few months back, showcasing all Meatloaf’s iconic songs. You can definitely tell Meatloaf was a huge inspiration for Steinman’s music and style. It was actually how his career began back in 1994 when he appeared as Meatloaf on the very popular at the time, ‘Stars in Their Eyes’

We haven’t got our tickets yet, however, we are very much looking forward to his upcoming ‘Love Hurts: Power Ballads and Anthems’, featuring songs from the likes of rock legends Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Tina Turner, Foreigner, Van Halen, etc. It is going to be wicked!

‘Eternal Love’ was such a joyous feel good production. The vocals were absolutely incredible (especially Tanyth Roberts as Medusa), she is a superstar in the making!

The whole atmosphere, the ace songs, the impressive choreography, the props, scenes, comedy element…fantastic! It was very funny and ever so sexy 😜😜

Vampires Rock!
