New LP

“In Poland, a myth has been created that musicals belong to the commercialized culture of the West. Even though extensive state patronage did not take into account money, no original musical production was created in this country. Propaganda parades, May Day festivals, and, less frequently, broadcasts from Berlin's Friedrich Staadt Palace were supposed to be a substitute for commercial theater. Artistic schools trained artists for "large repertoire", theaters - fully subsidized by the state - pursued their artistic ambitions regardless of audience expectations. If the audience was empty  - spectators were transported from nearby factories or military units. It was so simple! And we dreamed of a musical. 

We - accustomed to blandness, to standing in a row, to a bureaucracy that murdered trivial matters along kilometers of gray corridors - wanted a musical! 

And a producer appeared - Wiktor Kubiak. And he said:
“If there are no contractors, they need to be found and educated
If there are no schools, they need to be organized
If there is no tradition, it has to be created.”

But apart from money, you also need dreams"  (Janusz Józefowicz)
On January 30, 1991, the premiere of the musical Metro took place at the Dramatyczny Theater in Warsaw. By the end of August 2023, over 2,500 performances of the musical have been performed.
