Metropolis the Musical 2023 copyright:
In 2023, director Tracey Ward was granted the Copyright for “Metropolis the Musical” featuring the Giorgio Moroder 1984 revision of Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent film. Still in the works is aquiring the Giorgio Moroder sound track as well as new original music. This will be the first time that a musical of “Metropolis” will be able to follow the original story line. Her production is scheduled to be staged in the summer of 2024 at a theater, TBD,  in Salem Oregon.

The first “Metropolis the Musical”, was presented in 1989 at the "Picadilly” theater, London. And again revived in 2017, and was performed at "Ye Olde

Rose" and "Crown” theaters also in 2017. That same year it was performed at the “Pinnacle” theater in Salem, Oregon. Most recently, another vision of the musical was performed at the “Hayes” theater in Melbourne, Australia. None of these productions could follow the storyline as closely as Tracey Ward’s vision because of her newly granted copyrights that allow her to tell the story as it was meant to be told.
