PARIS (AP) — Forty-seven years after starring in the movie “The Fearless Vampire Killers” with his wife-to-be Sharon Tate, director Roman Polanski is adapting the famous musical version of the film for the Paris stage.

The musical “Dance of the Vampires” was first performed in 1997, and it’s traveled the world. The 81-year-old Polanski hopes it will now boost Paris’ dreary musical theater scene.
