It was a haunting novel and then an enigmatic Hitchcock film, and now it comes to the stage as a musical. Rebecca is a show of haunting mystery, romance and a past that simply will not disappear into the fog. Can impassioned desire, a beautiful and enigmatic woman and a perfect love ever be forgotten?
Synopsis
“Last night, I dreamed of Manderley,” may be the most famous line from the hauntingly romantic mystery Rebecca. This is the intense story of Maxim de Winter and his new wife and the memory of de Winter’s deceased first wife, Rebecca. Although the new Mrs. De Winters desperately wants to feel at home and be accepted, she is constantly intimidated by Mrs. Danvers, the controlling and manipulative housekeeper of Maxim’s West Country estate of Manderley, and by memories of Rebecca.
It is the magnificent Manderley where the memory of de Winter’s first wife, the glamorous and mysterious Rebecca, is kept alive. Her beauty and enigmatic energy haunts everyone who tries to live in the present. The new musical Rebecca will be on Broadway in October 2012.
