In 2023 Metropolis became public domain. In December 2023 Tracey Ward, after 45 years of doing theatre and film work, acquired the copyright to do “Metropolis the Musical “ using not only the film made by Fritz Lang in 1927, but also Giorgio Moroder’s 1984 version. This will be the first time EVER, the story will be told in the manner it was conceived. Music from the 1984 film will be mixed with new music and lavish dance numbers. The visuals of the 1927 Fritz Lang version will be used as backdrop for the play staying as close to the original story as possible, because we can!

About Metropolis
Metropolis, the movie was made about the haves and have-nots, and how very divided, and unaware the people are when living in their different situations of their surroundings. The joy of some, and the heartbreak of others with no real path to come together. Our heroes find one another and set in place a plan to heal their people somehow bringing everyone together. This is upended by the Master of Metropolis, and mad scientist, who creates a robot to control the masses. When the leaders lose control of this robot it leads to destruction. Only the heroes can bring the people together. It is a rich and fantastic story that will satisfy both the sci-fi buffs, and theater lovers. 

100 years ago this story was written about the haves and have-nots. The story rings true today.
