Roman Polanski brings vampire musical to Paris
Also in Paris, Roman Polanski's musical "the Fearless Vampire Killers" has made its debut.
It is an adaptation of his 1967 film of the same name.
It was first staged by Polanski in German for Vienna in 1997. Polanski originally had doubts about the French version.
"I was a bit afraid because the French language does not translate well. Singing is a different type of thing altogether. English is good for singing, German too. French, not so much. But when I first saw the text in French I realized it was possible here."
Polanski says vampires and musicals are becoming popular in Europe so he wanted to bring it here.
"That's what I wanted to bring in here. The west-end type of theater which does not exist in France. Probably that gave me the possibility of finally convincing people that it may work here. We'll see."
