- Have a first listen to "Mrs de Winter is Here" from the long-awaited UK premiere of Rebecca.
This new music video features the vocals of Lauren Jones (who plays Second Mrs de Winter / 'I' in the musical) and Kara Lane (Mrs Danvers), with Tom Knowles on piano. The track was recorded and mixed by Ben Robbins at the Umbrella Rooms, with Jack Somerset serving as videographer.
Alongside Jones and Lane, the English-language premiere is led by Richard Carson (Les Misérables) as Maxim de Winter.
Completing the company are Alex James-Ward, Piers Bate, Sarah Harlington, David Breeds, Amanda Minihan, Neil Moors, Nicholas Lumley, Nigel-Joseph Francis, Elliot Swann, Scott McClure, Emily Apps, Melanie Bright, Gail MacKinnon, Tarisha Rommick, James Mateo-Salt, and Rosie Glossop.
Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay’s musical, based on Daphne du Maurier’s seminal 1938 text, was first seen in Vienna in 2006 in German, going on to play three sold-out seasons at the Raimund Theater, with a variety of foreign-language productions following over the intervening 16 years.
Christopher Hampton’s English-language version of the show has been workshopped a number of times over the last 11 years, with both UK and Broadway productions previously conceived. Famously, the show had even gone on sale for its Broadway run in 2013, before plans were scrapped.
Du Maurier’s Rebecca tells the tale of a young woman who marries a wealthy widower, only for the new husband’s past to come to haunt the couple. It was adapted into a film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940, and again by Ben Wheatley in 2020.
Featuring a large orchestra of 18, the London production of the musical is directed by Alejandro Bonatto (The Human Voice at the Charing Cross Theatre). Other creative team members include choreographer Ron Howell, musical supervisor/conductor Robert Scott, production designer Nicky Shaw, lighting designer David Seldes, sound designer Andrew Johnson, projection designer Matt Powell, and costume supervisor Jess Richardson-Smith. Casting is by Stephen Crockett/Grindrod Burton Casting.
Rebecca runs at the Charing Cross Theatre from 4 September to 18 November 2023, with a press night set for 18 September. - Zábava
Hopefully this production does not have any problems. Really enjoying the English translations.
I saw the world premiere in Vienna and I have to say... Kara Lanes face expressions remind me of Susan Rigvava-Dumas, who played the original Mrs. Danvers in Vienna.
Love and good luck!
Uh oh... this is going to be all I can think about until the end of the run. I've already gone and replayed it three times. So strange, finally hearing it in English! Hopefully there will be a cast recording with the orchestra for those of us too far from London...
Yes please!!! Cast recording!!! I need!!!!
Yes definitely from Australia, it’s so interesting to hear more songs from the show in English.
Kara Lane: The best Rebecca ever🎉Her interpretation as Mrs. Danver is stunning: She shows Mrs Danvers not as a simple devil person but as a devoted servant and deep in love to her lady. Kara Lane follows the emotional path from obsessive mourning and protecting the rememberace to the deep disappointing after recognizing that she was used like everybody from Rebecca. This recognition drives Mrs Denver to insanity. A brilliant performance as an actress and as a singer. Thank you Karen for an outstanding performance in London👏👏👏💖
Please watch Willemijn Verkaik as Mrs. Danvers😉 But love to hear Rebecca in another language❤
@@luker.918 I will, thank you😊
Saw this production (TWICE!) last week in London - an incredibly talented cast, beautiful score, intelligent script, and perfect special effects. I encourage anyone who is able to see it to do so at once! Quality, first-rate, original theater like "Rebecca" is increasingly rare.
I want to hear the ending of the rebecca reprise
I probably watched this a 100 times and never get tired of it ❤
this is SO good
OmG, ich liebe es!!!! Ich habe das Stück in 3 verschd. Inszenierungen in Deutschland gesehen und hoffe es auch in London sehen zu dürfen. ❤️
Wünsche eine fantastische Spielzeit!!!!
Just saw this production today, it was the best musical I've seen in a long time. I will back!
These translations are stellar ! I cannot wait to see it live ❤
I've been a fan of this musical for ages and dude the translation is so gooooodd
ok - these two incredible voices and this powerful song have convinced me that Rebecca can be a musical - it’s one of my favourite novels (am a young senior and read Rebecca in college “years” ago) and as much as I love it - couldn’t imagine singing about such a dark intense story (substitute Jane Eyre or Withering Heights) - but this song has the new Mrs DeWinter putting the housekeeper in her place in such a way that I want to stand up and applaud “I” 🤗 wishing this production so much success 🇨🇦🙏
One of my favorite movies
Gotta see it
Beautiful translation but I'm confused by the title. Why is the title different when the line is translated practically 1 to 1
Mrs. de Winter bin ich = Mrs. de Winter is me
Oooh, this is fun! I played Mrs Denver for a concert once, and it was fun. For the actual night, "I" had bought a cheap little figurine and she actually smashed it on stage. We were all surprised the pieces went everywhere but it was great for the performance.
I want more ❤❤❤ oh my gosh I love it. One of my favourite songs from the show finally in a language I speak! (No offence, German is cool and I'm trying to learn it)
Beautiful. I love the positive strength of "I" and the soft fine vulnerability of Mrs. Danvers. This is a great progression in comparison to the Austrian/German original, where we have a more hurt and defiant "I" and a furious icecold draconian Mrs. Danvers.
fully agreed
Interestingly, the current Mrs. Danvers in Vienna, Annemieke van Dam, is also a very frail and vulnerable Mrs. Danvers. When "I" dropped Rebecca's cupid I swear she literally fell into pieces! I also love this dynamic so so much.
Willemijn Verkaik was pretty evil und icecold throughout almost the whole show but a few times when it got too much she couldn‘t hide the pain. And after finding out the truth in rebecca 4 she really fell apart. She broke my heart in this moment. I had never felt that kind of sympathy for the „villian“. Best performance of a musical performer I have ever seen in any show. 4 months ago and still speachless.
@@lollollol5959 To me Mrs. Denvers was never evil in first place. She was stiff and as a servent should be loyal to their masters, at least how most people think of typical British servents. Even after years she followed the requests of her former mastres word by word. Deeply within her she still hoped the old Mrs. de Winter is still somewhere alive. The role of Mr. de Winter though is a bit more ... twisted. The musical, like the book this play is based on, leaves it open whether he did murder his wife, whether she went missing because of an accident or performed some suicide. We don't know and it is more or less in the eyes of the beholder what actually happened and who is to blame here.
Great song .both sing great and look there parts
I am SO excited about this
Very Good❤ perfect Mrs.Danvers.❤
Perfect Mrs.Danvers,Hungary Lilla Polyák ❤
I’m a Rebeccite now. Bring it on!
Maybe the song translation means she is the official Mrs. De Winter at Manderlay, not the ghost version.
This is fabulous !
Why is the title “Mrs. de Winter Is Here” when she clearly sings “Mrs. de Winter Is Me”?
That's exactly what I'm asking myself. I even think that the title is not sung once
Same thought😅
Yeah that doesn't make any sense 😅 Same goes for the other song they already published 'Through the Night'. They sing 'help me face the night' and not what the title suggests
Just seen today at Charing Cross! Fabulous
❤ Perfect english Mrs.Danvers! Whats name is actor woman?
Saw this production at the weekend and really enjoyed it. The two females (seen here) are as good live!
I can't decide if this is a clunky translation or if it just sounds better in German. "Mrs. De Winter is me" sounds like bad English.
I don't mind the new English lyrics, but I do hope this loosens up a little bit during the run. I feel as though this would benefit from being sung a little more freely (I find it sounds kind of plodding compared to the German).
Lauren Jones's facial expressions are very similar to Keira Knightley's. Maybe they are related?
Mrs Danvers sounds way too submissive to me.
To be fair, this is the song where she loses a lot of that power of intimidation she had over the second Mrs. de Winter. So it’s a very valid character choice.
@@PhoenixJohnson29- the fact that "I" doesn't fear her so much anymore is due to the fact that she has gained self-confidence, though, not to the fact that Mrs Danvers actually is less intimidating.
I don't see any submissiveness of Mrs. Danvers, but a glimpse of astonishment and uncertainty cause "I" dares to rebel. Very plausible and valid, and gives more profundity to the character of Mrs. Denvers. And of course the power of intimidation fades, if the other gaines more self-confidence. This ist why Mrs. Danvers will be meaner and more malicious in the further course of the story to compensate this.
Personally I find that since Susan Rigvava-Dumas most Mrs Danvers have been way too outwardly aggressive, some outright animalistic. I do prefer a Mrs Danvers that relies on intrigue and quiet authority - she is only a servant in the house after all and she always seemed aware of that in the original material. She kind of is forced to keep her true feelings hidden somewhat or risks being fired.
