The premier of the cult musical "The Fearless Vampire Killers" promised to be a theater smash in the summer of 2007. The world wide hit musical is directed by Oscar winning director Roman Polanski and Cornelius Baltus. This not-every-day private production has been aging on the desk of the founder of Hungary's first musical agent producer Dr. Edit Simon. The producer along with opera singer and artistic director Balzs Pka has been working with Hungarian and international staff members to ensure that a worthy artistic musical will be born on June 30th at the Pesti Magyar Sznhz (Theatre). When the production was announced at the first press conference held at the elegant New York Palace Boscolo Hotel red champagne was served and guests were seated in red velvet seats by hostesses wearing red and black outfits. The professional macabre has begun. Polanski puts this production on stage with such actors as Michael Kunze, the most significant German lyricist. His co-director is Cornelius Baltus, who is the resident director of Disney's The Lion King in Hamburg. Dennis Callahan, choreographer from Radio City Music Hall, New York and who took active part in casting and conductor, composer and pianist Gbor Riv, an Austrian of Hungarian decent, who is working on a Hungarian production for the first time is the musical director. Composer Jim Steinman, who happened to write the lyrics to the Bonnie Tyler hit "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" is also on board. This creative team has already had four smash hits, we are sure this will be their fifth!
