  I was thinking, “Wow, the backstory of this show would make a GREAT musical.” Then I realized it’s already been made.<br><br>It was called “The Producers.”

  I didn&apos;t know that I needed a Defunctland style uber-youtuber for theatre productions. But I guess I know I need it now!

  &apos;You can&apos;t tell a crime story on stage&apos; But Agatha Christie did several times, the prime example being The Mousetrap which is still running in the West End after 60 years

  I live in South Korea and it’s strange that shows that weren’t as popular on broadway is really popular here. Rebecca is one example, others being Jekyll and Hyde or Elisabeth

  Only Agatha Christie herself could have come up with that twist. I audibly gasped. I cannot believe this whole fiasco was basically a scooby-doo mystery brought to life.

  I love that Sprecher was so consistently incompetent that he looked like a fraudster and it took a whole ass investigation to reveal that he was just bad at his job

  It makes me sad &quot;Rebecca&quot; never opened. What makes me even sadder is that this entire debacle pretty much extinguished any little hope left that &quot;Elisabeth&quot; or any other Kunze or Levay productions would ever get an English adaptation.

  The idea that a gothic mystery novel not being a good chance for a blockbuster seems strange to me after the success of Webber&apos;s Phantom of the Opera, also based on a gothic mystery novel. Not saying that it would have necessarily been a blockbuster, but the rationale seems unfounded.

  I saw a subtitled bootleg of ‘Rebecca’ years ago and it’s a beautiful show. It’s unfortunate that, at least in America, the show is overshadowed by unlucky and shady business decisions to the point where I can’t see anyone trying to bring it to Broadway again for awhile. Though if Carrie has taught us anything, it’s that even the most chaotic production can eventually find a way to make something work, especially with the right people.

  This story is so, so wild. <br>I feel so bad for Micheal Kunze. He did such an amazing job on the book and lyrics and worked so hard for his vision. <br>I really hope that someday Rebecca the Musical can make it on Broadway.

  The saddest part about this is that the way you&apos;ve described it I would have really loved to see Rebecca.
