| ...which takes all of five seconds: Roman Polanski and Broadway Lawyers for the film director Roman Polanski, who has been working in Europe since fleeing the United States in 1977 to escape after being charged with statutory rape, have been talking with California prosecutors about a deal under which he could return to work in the United States. Now it appears that if such a deal is reached, Mr. Polanski might well land on Broadway. In Vienna, Andrew Braunsberg is producing "Dance of the Vampires," a musical version of Mr. Polanski's 1967 horror spoof, "The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, but Your Teeth Are in My Neck," with Mr. Polanski directing. The musical, with songs by the rock composer Jim Steinman, is being performed, in German, at the 1,200-seat Raimund Theater there. "Our idea has always been to take it to New York," Mr. Braunsberg said in a telephone interview from Vienna. "We want to do it with Roman directing." Mr. Steinman will translate and reshape the German book and lyrics. Producers had initially been uncertain whether to take the show first to New York or wait until after a West End run in London. "Now we all feel it's really more of a New York show," Mr. Braunsberg said. "Our feeling is New York will be the first port of call." The timing will depend on when the right theater is available, he said, but producers and Mr. Polanski are hoping for a Broadway opening sometime late in 1998. > Okay, click there.
