It all begins in 1926, in a small hotel in Monte Carlo. Maxim de Winter, a wealthy widower from England, marries a beautiful young woman from a rather common background.

Rebecca - Return to Manderley

As soon as the couple returns to de Winter’s Estate Manderley, trouble arises in the form of long-time housekeeper Mrs. Danvers. The ghost of Maxim’s first wife Rebecca seems to dominate everything that happens at Manderley, and Mrs. Danvers won’t hide her lack of respect for the new Lady of the House.

Mrs. Danvers and 'I'

Just one year earlier, Rebecca had died in an alleged boating accident. She must have been a perfect wife and the most beautiful woman in the world…according to Mrs. Danvers. Maxim seems to be taken aback by his young woman’s loneliness and insecurities, and when she wears one of Rebecca’s precious gowns for a society ball the new marriage begins to crumble…

And then police find Rebecca’s boat…with her corpse in it! At the time of the accident, Maxim had apparently identified a different victim’s remains as his wife’s body. Now, police consider him as their prime suspect…

Rebecca's Boating Accident?

Intrigues abound and de Winter’s situation seems hopeless. His young wife, however, discovers new strength and self-confidence through standing by his side. After a series of dramatic turns, Maxim gets cleared by police. The trials of this experience reward the couple with a truly happy ending. But Mrs. Danvers and Manderley must face a terrible finale…

UPDATE! REBECCA The Musical is now scheduled for a Broadway premiere on April 22, 2012!

Michael Kunze’s fascination with Daphne Du Maurier’s world-famous novel Rebecca began when he was only 15 years old. Decades later, after falling in love with this story all over again, he approached the late author’s son for the rights to create a Drama Musical about Rebecca. A viewing of Elisabeth convinced this gentleman that the Team Kunze/Levay would be the perfect match for a musical work based on his mother’s dramatic material.

First, 2 years work on the libretto, then 2 more years on Sylvester Levay’s compositions, and a dream team began to form around sensational production plans. American director Francesca Zambelli and British set designer Peter Davison took the reigns of the creative crew. And on September 28, 2006…
