More information about Rebecca
Rebecca features an orchestra of 18 and will be directed by Alejandro Bonatto. The Tony Award-winning playwright Christopher Hampton (Sunset Boulevard) translates the musical into English alongside Kunze.
Daphne du Maurier’s book was a bestseller, with 2.8 million copies sold between its publication in 1938 and 1965. In addition to the musical adaptation, the novel has inspired a play and multiple film adaptations, including Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 Academy Award-winning movie of the same name. A more recent film adaptation premiered on Netflix in 2020, directed by Ben Wheatley.
What to Watch For
-
In 2017, Daphne du Maurier’s novel was voted the UK’s favourite book of the past 225 years in a survey conducted by the bookseller W H Smith, beating out To Kill A Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre.
-
Sylvester Levay and Michael Kunze were also the composing team behind the most successful German-language musical of all time, Elisabeth. The musical has been translated into seven languages and seen by over ten million spectators but has not yet been staged in an English-language production.

One of the show's songs, "The Power of a Woman in Love," had an English version released as a single performed by Gloria Gaynor before the Viennese premiere took place.
