Austrian musical producers VBW Theater have announced that Rebecca will make its London debut in at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre in Spring 2011.
Rebecca has book and lyrics by Michael Kunze and music by Sylvester Levay. The show premiered at Vienna’s Raimund Theater in September 2006 directed by Francesca Zambello.
