REBECCA: The most English of tales comes home in a new musical.

    STRICTLY LIMITED RUN

    REBECCA THE MUSICAL

    CHARING CROSS THEATRE

    4 SEPTEMBER – 18 NOVEMBER


    Following productions in 13 countries, 8 languages, and 2.1 million tickets sold, critically acclaimed musical ‘Rebecca’ by Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay gets its London premiere in a new production at London’s Charing Cross Theatre in an English translation by Christopher Hampton (Tony Award winner, Best Book, for ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and Oscar winner for Best Adapted Screenplay ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ & ‘The Father’) and Michael Kunze.

    Rebecca, with an orchestra of 18, will be directed by Alejandro Bonatto (director of the critically acclaimed production of Donizetti’s ‘Rita’ and the upcoming production of Francis Poulanc and Jean Cocteau’s ‘The Human Voice’ at Charing Cross Theatre later this month).
    It has a new English translation by Christopher Hampton (two-time Tony Award winner Best Score & Best Book for ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and Oscar winner for Best Adapted Screenplay ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ & ‘The Father’) and Michael Kunze.
    Rebecca, with 22 original songs, is a gripping thriller full of intrigue and surprises that sticks closely to the original novel.
    Wealthy Maxim De Winter brings his naïve new wife home to his Cornish estate, Manderley, where the manipulative housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, resents the new wife’s intrusion. She persuades her that she is an unworthy replacement for the first Mrs. De Winter, the glamorous and mysterious Rebecca, who perished in a drowning accident, with tragic results…
    The world-famous novel was also turned into a celebrated Alfred Hitchcock film in 1940, starring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, Judith Anderson, George Sanders and Gladys Cooper. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning two awards; Best Picture and Best Cinematography.
    Rebecca was recently filmed again by Netflix starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas and Keeley Hawes.
