Rebecca Tickets

How popular is this story? The answer is very popular indeed! There have been ten different productions of Rebecca so far, each in a different language, and now it's the UK's turn.

This is the English language premiere of the critically acclaimed musical Rebecca, fresh from the Austrian musical producer Vereinigte Bühnen Wien, created by Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay, and translated by Christopher Hampton.

Rebecca theatre tickets whisk you to a sinister new world. So far more than two million people have seen and loved the show worldwide. Make your way to the capital's Charing Cross Theatre and lose yourself in a classic thriller inspired by Daphne Du Maurier's 1938 novel of the same name. The 1940 American romantic psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock was brilliant, and this exciting new musical is predicted to be just as good.

Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay are highly successful German language musical theatre composers. The musical enjoyed its world premiere at the VBW-theatre Raimund Theater in Vienna, Austria, back in early autumn 2006, where it sold out for three seasons.

The orchestra of 18 people is directed by Alejandro Bonatto, who brought the house down with a legendary production of Donizetti's Rita. The translator, Christopher Hampton, is a two-time Tony Award winner for Best Score and Best Book for Sunset Boulevard. He also won Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on Dangerous Liaisons and The Father.

What's the plot of Rebecca?

Rebecca weaves 22 original songs into a classic story to recreate a gripping thriller full of intrigue.

The plot is much the same as the novel. Rich Maxim De Winter brings his shy, naive new wife home to his Cornish estate, Manderley. The scary and manipulative housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, hates her employer's new wife. She manages to persuade her she's not worthy of De Winter or his lovely home. She's nothing compared to the first Mrs. De Winter, who was glamorous and mysterious. But Rebecca drowned in an accident, and the results were tragic.

The full cast and creatives will be announced nearer the time.
