| I saw a very nice ballet of Frost & Fire a couple years ago. And Fahrenheit 451 has been opera-ized. And I believe Dandelion Wine was turned into a musical as well, was it not? I live in DC metro too, by coincidence - Largo, Maryland.

| Yes, Dandelion Wine has been done as a musical. Also Leviathan '99 has been done as an opera. I think a couple of other plays have also been done as musicals or operas (Perhaps The Electric Grandmother; perhaps The Invisible Boy; perhaps The Day it Rained Forever. These are vague recollections!) Then there's Christus Apollo - a poem, which has been performed with musical backing. In the UK, Brian Sibley once wrote a piece for voice and music called "The Autumn People", inspired by Bradbury. |

Doug, you've dropped out of character again. We all know you live in Green Town with your brother Tom. |

Indeed Douglas does - but John doesn't!

| Hello,
William F. Nolan's THE RAY BRADBURY COMPANION has the following entry:
"SONGS FOR A SIDESHOW OF THE MIND. Sub-titled: RAY BRADBURY'S
DARK CARNIVAL. On one LP record. From Tower, 1970. Bob Jacobs
adapts eight RB stories into narrative songs: "The Emissary,"
"The Wind," "The Small Assassin," "Homecoming," "The Illustrated
Man," "The Dwarf," "The Jar," and "There Was An Old Woman." RB
liner note."
Wonder where to find said album? Sounds intriguing. |

Hello all, I am actually putting the finishing touches on a musical adaptation of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. It is a fairly large project and I am very close to having it onstage. However, I do not have the rights to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to go about doing this, or any thoughts at all about the severity of copyright infringement? I have contacted Mr. Bradbury's agent Don Congden but was not given permission to put on the musical. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks,

Brother T, this was the subject of a long running thread some time ago. I seem to recall the recording engineer posted here with some information. Let's see... here's that old thread: https://raybradburyboard.com/ev...211016901#3211016901 |
