"The Legend of Dio - A Metal Musical" - a fictional comedy based on Dio's music, lyrics and imagery - will include material from Dio, Black Sabbath and Rainbow as presented by members of three Melbourne-based bands.

Billed as "equal parts Tenacious D, Rock of Ages and Shakespeare," the musical stars William James Smith from H.M.A.S. Vendetta as Dio, Barbari�n frontman Myles Tauchert as Satan and Kat Stargazer of Horizons Edge as wife/manager Wendy Dio.
