Rebecca

Based on Daphne du Maurier's novel of the same name. A romantic mystery musical by the authors of Elisabeth

The mystery-crime-musical by the writing duo that created the successful Elisabeth is based on Daphne du Maurier’s bestseller of the same name, which has also been made into several films, including one by the Oscar-winning Alfred Hitchcock. After a brief courtship in the early 20th century, a simple young girl marries a newly widowed English nobleman, Maxim de Winter, who takes her to his Manderley estate in southern England. Most of the staff, however, still remember Maxim's deceased first wife, Rebecca, from whose shadow their new mistress cannot escape. But the biggest obstacle for her is the housekeeper, Mrs Danvers, who has known Rebecca since childhood and is unwilling to accept anyone else in her place at any price. Thus, the romantic love story in Manderley gradually turns into a gripping thriller with many intrigues and dark surprises. A mysterious story, a thrilling spectacle and spectacular emotional melodies – that is Rebecca!
