Most notably, he toured with Robin Givens in the comedy-drama I Need a Hug, and starred as Fats Waller in a national tour revival of Ain’t Misbehavin, which spawned a Grammy-nominated soundtrack.

This new show will feature Ruben’s biggest hits, a handful of songs paying tribute to his idols, and songs from his brand new album.

Date: Friday, March 12, 2027 at 8:00PM
Ticket Price(s):  $50 – $60 ($4 per ticket fee included)
Venue: Madame Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis Theatre (EK Theatre)

This live show is the only authentic reimagining of the legendary Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman songbook, performed by world-class alumni of The Neverland Express who brought his musical visions to life both in the studio and live on stages across the world.  

 

Led by Meat Loaf’s longtime record producer/music director/guitarist Paul Crook alongside fellow alumni John Miceli (drums), Randy Flowers (guitar), Lyssa Lynne (female lead/backing vocals), Danny Miranda (bass) and including Andy Ascolese (piano) and Kiley Baxter (featured vocals), the band performs a thoughtfully curated set list of Meat Loaf’s best loved classics such as ‘Bat Out of Hell’, ‘Paradise by the Dashboard Light’ and ‘I Would Do Anything For Love’.  

 

The band is fronted by Andrew Polec, who originated the lead role of Strat in Jim Steinman’s Bat Out of Hell: The Musical (UK, Toronto and NYC) and won the Stage Debut Award for Best West End Debut. Critics and audiences praised him for delivering one of the most demanding vocals in a rock production, a role built around the Meat Loaf catalog and Jim Steinman’s unmistakable sound. He delivers the theatricality, the vocal intensity, and the emotional DNA of this music.

Based on the Academy Award-winning motion picture and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan, Finding Neverland follows the relationship between playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired “Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up.” Finding Neverland features music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham.

J.M. Barrie, a struggling playwright, encounters a widowed mother, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four sons in Kensington Park. As Barrie befriends the family, he is inspired by their adventures, particularly Peter, who is reluctant to play due to his grief. Barrie helps him to learn to play again and becomes inspired to create a new art form: children’s theatre. But who will pay to see a play about children? Who will play these characters? And how will they make Peter Pan fly?
