Despite all the scandal surrounding the musical when it was supposed to premiere on Broadway, I still hope this fantastic musical gets an american premiere or broadway run one day. It could be the next big hit! The score is absolutely haunting and gorgeous!
It's not gonna happen, in april of 2017 they lost the rights for the musical. However, the musical was successful in other countries: 2006 - Austria 🇦🇹 2008 - Japan and Finland 🇯🇵🇫🇮 2010 - Hungary 🇭🇺 2013 - South Korea 🇰🇷 2014 - Sweden 🇸🇪 Shows in other cities in Europe: - Stuttgart, Germany 🇩🇪 - St. Gallen, Switzerland 🇨🇭 - Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺 - Belgrade, Serbia 🇷🇸 - Bucharest, Romania 🇹🇩 - Ostrava, Czech Republic 🇨🇿
I was very wary about their turning Rebecca into a musical. As a huge fan of du Maurier's book and a fan of Hitchcock's film, I was wary, but hearing this...I know I'll be singing it over and over. A really powerful song, given me goosebumps. And I know for a fact that name will become more infamous to the world now...Rebecca...*shivers*. The name strikes fear into all men's hearts
This song is like a storm that gathers slowly but turns into a churning maelstrom that almost consumes everyone who hears it except for the lead who is the one person pushing against it
This was her bed and here, this was her nightgown. Beautiful, isn’t it? Hold it and touch it and feel it. It’s soft and it’s light. I haven’t washed it Since she wore it for the last time. She wont sleep here anymore, But she’s near all the same. Hear the surf, it is calling her name. Rebecca Wherever you may be Life sings your song as long as waves roar to the coast Voices sigh in the air everywhere Rebecca Come back Rebecca You’re not meant to be a shadow of a ghost. This is her brush. Her hair was full and dark, I brushed it every night. she wore satin and velvet, she looked like a queen. Her smile was boyish when I saw her for the last time. she won’t smile at me anymore but she’s near all the same. Hear the wind, it is calling her name Rebecca Wherever you may be Life sings your song as long as waves roar to the coast Voices sigh in the air everywhere Rebecca Come back Rebecca You’re not meant to be a shadow of a ghost She’s near, she’s here She can see, she can hear She’s a force you should fear Rebecca wherever you may be Life sings your song as long as waves roar to the coast Voices sigh in the air everywhere Rebecca Come back Rebecca You’re not meant to be a shadow of a ghost.
Thanks SO much for posting the English lyrics! I'm surprised the recording is such that so many of the lyrics are not understandable. If I may, though, make one small correction, it is: "Life sings your song as long as waves roll (not roar) to the coast".
@old music Yes, "roar" works in the context you've described, but I definitely hear an "L" at the end of the word. Either way, it's a beautiful and haunting song!
WHY DO I KEEP FINDING MUSICALS ABOUT WHAT WE’RE LEARNING IN SCHOOL?!?! This is my summer reading book, and honestly I’m shook this is so much like the actually scene I read
There is a revival of it right now in England so there are definitely English scripts. It may be a little altered though because they had to change a lot of things to accommodate the size of the theatre. God bless!
so upset that this show never got off of the ground in America- something to do with the producers losing a court case to obtain the rights... where can I find the full soundtrack?
I don't think they ever finished a full recording in english. A few songs like this one got a concept recording by the original german singers, but other than that we're out of luck...
I would love to see the more famous Elisabeth have it’s time to shine on Broadway, the musicals tale, inspiration and music is just stunningly haunting
I always say if this was done in English again Ramin Karimloo should play Maxim, also, I'd love it if PATTI LUPONE played Mrs Danvers! just imagine her singing this song!
@@mistresslangdon642 My dream casting choices if it was in English again Ramin Karimloo as Maxim, Patti Lupone as Mrs Danvers, Harriet Harris as Mrs Van Hopper, Norm Lewis as Frank.
Yessss Ramin would be a perfect Maxim. My dream cast is Christy Altomare as I, Ramin Karimloo as Maxim, Pia Douwes as Mrs. Danvers (I see no one else in that role but her), Norm Lewis as Frank, Gesley Bell as Beatrice, and Caroline O’ Connor as Mrs. van Hopper
@@PhoenixJohnson29 Yeah lots of people say Christie as I she would be good, Sierra Boggess was going to play her but in my opinion, while I love Sierra she just isn't I for me.
The creative team should have the English score released at some point. I mean it has to be out there somewhere since the Broadway production got cancelled during the rehearsal process 🤔
Rebecca Grönvall Sadly it was never completely played in English or had an Broadway opening night. There is,however, a recording from the German production in 2006 with English subtitles
My Dream Cast for Rebecca is Sierra Boggess as I, Ramin Karimloo as Maxim, Carolee Carmello as Mrs. Danvers, Norm Lewis as Frank Crawley, and Grace McLean as Mrs. Van Hopper
From which castalbum is this one? I thought this was only in german! I love Pia Douwes so much. Could you please send me the file of this song? It would mean the world to me!! XXX Pim
Does anyone have the full English lyrics of this demo. Some parts are hard to hear correctly. Parts of the translation suck man. "You're not meant to be a shadow of a ghost?"
Oh und wie sie fabelhaft ist :D Ich hör sie mir immer wieder gerne an^^ Aber die Aufnahme von der Aufführung mit Lucy Scherer ist richtig mies, da war ich total geschockt und dachte mir nur so, oh mein Gott was ist mit Pia los?? o.O Aber als ich dann das hier gehört hab, ging es mir viiiieeel besser, das ist die Pia Douwes die man kennt^^
Wow. IIn der deutschen Version trifft sie fast gar keinen Ton bei dem Lied, aber das hier ist wieder genau das, was man von ihr kennt. Zwischen den Versionen liegen Welten. Aber ich hab bei der Version mega Gänsehaut bekommen D:
@MrElisabethkenner Naja, aber auf den Aufnahmen die ich hier gehört habe, lag sie echt sowas von daneben mit den Tönen. o.O Aber ich bin mir sicher, dass sie live viel, viel besser ist und vielleicht war sie bei den Aufnahmen auch nicht so gut drauf. Jeder hat ja mal nen schlechten Tag. Aber so gerne ich sie auch mag, Susan wird für mich immer Mrs Danvers sein ;)
These English lyrics suck. If this is the final version the English production is going to fail for sure. They should do a more faithful translation of the German one.
Considering that this is an early demo of the music (from around 2003), the lyrics in question are basically taken straight from the dialogue of the book, and that there are four variations of the Rebecca theme in the show (one that starts out with the first half of the lyrics of this song, one at the end of act one, one early into act two (which is the longest variation, is included in the Wien studio cast from 2006, includes the second half of this song but not the Rebecca chant at the beginning like in the Wien studio cast), and one after the big reveal that Rebecca had cancer), I would say that these lyrics help drive the story. If you really want to know the show, I would suggest getting one of the live recordings, either the 2007 original cast or (if you're a fan of Pia Douwes) the new 2012 recording. Don't assume that the studio recording has all of the music.
You do realize they can’t do a literal translation of the German lyrics to English because the song wouldn’t sound good. These lyrics give it a chance to flow so the lyrics won’t sound random. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say

I love her accent - how can she be so perfect? German, Dutch, and English!
I stumbled upon the musical because Wilamijn Verkuak is playing Mrs.Dauvres in upcoming production of it.
This was her bed and here,
this was her nightgown.

Finally coming to London!
WHY DO I KEEP FINDING MUSICALS ABOUT WHAT WE’RE LEARNING IN SCHOOL?!?!
This is my summer reading book, and honestly I’m shook this is so much like the actually scene I read
Good news (if anyone will even read this lol):
Rebecca is coming to the west end from September 4th-November 9th THIS YEAR (2023)!
Yeah at Charing Cross theater a off west end theater and I’m thrilled about it
I’m so excited!!! Even if living in the US means I personally won’t see it live, the fact that we’re getting this show in English is amazing ❤
WHATT ? : D
You have saved my life, I never would have known if not for this comment!!!
I got to see it on September 4th 🎉
After listening a bunch to the German version with the same actors, I can feel my brain melting while hearing this in English
So it is Pia Douwes? I thought so but am unsure
@@shikkithefirst5393 About 85% sure it is
@@shikkithefirst5393 Yes, she speaks English (and learnt it in England, I think, hence her accent). :)
@@doctortalisman9861 She trained to be a ballet dancer in London for 3 years!
@@Schwarze_Moewe Yes! :)
Egal ob auf Englisch oder Deutsch - bei dem Lied bekommt man einfach Gänsehaut! :)
bei dem Lied bekomm ich jedes Mal aufs neue Gänsehaut :D
I just know there is a script of the Broadway version floating out there somewhere, just waiting for me to find.
There is a revival of it right now in England so there are definitely English scripts. It may be a little altered though because they had to change a lot of things to accommodate the size of the theatre. God bless!
@@Tacos135 Oh most certainly, but nothing I've ever stumbled upon :(
I really hope this production happens. Music sounds phenomenal.
Is Pia Douwes who sing this version, isn't she?
Andrea Yeah I think so. Sounds like her in the German Version. I didn't know there was a englisch one
It definitely is her.
so upset that this show never got off of the ground in America- something to do with the producers losing a court case to obtain the rights... where can I find the full soundtrack?
agreed... 'tis a shame
I don't think they ever finished a full recording in english. A few songs like this one got a concept recording by the original german singers, but other than that we're out of luck...
There is more to the story. ua-cam.com/video/fn9Wr3og3oo/v-deo.html
They actually named a musical after the one person who isn't an actual character...
Well and a novel, and a short story, and a movie...
yes she is, she just isn’t present
which is why I find this all fascinating lol
@@EricMontreal22 and a movie
and two miniseries’
I would love to see the more famous Elisabeth have it’s time to shine on Broadway, the musicals tale, inspiration and music is just stunningly haunting
the korean version is also a good one :)
Teresia Ditha are you Korean
and Japanese
Yes! f(x) Luna playing Ich/I ❤️
@@fanhe3448 lol no
I saw a trailer for it when I was in South Korea and I got shivers
Whoever did the vocals sounds great! I like that some of the high notes were taken down a few steps, sounds more consistent. God bless!
I want to see it if it EVER premieres In NYC, I also would love to see Elisabeth
"you are not meant to be a shadow or a ghost" :)

The ghost story where you never see the ghost
This is SOOOO much superior to the final version.
This song reminds me of When There’s No One from Carrie. Then again Mrs. Danvers is basically an older version of Margaret anyway
Is there an official soundtrack for the English version available for purchase yet? I'd play this on repeat.
stargazerparadox1945 I wish
Hopefully well get the cd soundtrack in sept
Do You please have Beatrise's song , when she sings about her brother ("Was ist nur los mit ihm")
Ok, now I need to hear all the score. So cool!!!
The creative team should have the English score released at some point. I mean it has to be out there somewhere since the Broadway production got cancelled during the rehearsal process 🤔
@@PhoenixJohnson29technically it only ever got one rehearsal as they knew it was done for it was more a technical thing to get the actors paid
@@MrBlock-qe7hiell my point still stands considering the London run coming up.
Very, very cool.
Is there anywhere I can find the lyrics for this song in English? I've been looking for it but I couldn't find it...
My name is Rebecca 💙 thanks for this song 💙
What is “I”’s second to last lyric at the end? I can’t quite make it out.
“And I’m alive, why should I be afraid of Rebecca?”
@@PhoenixJohnson29 Thank you!!
@@Jenny24601 You’re welcome
this would have been so good!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
We need... a good comedy... opera... musical... operetta... I don't care... PICK ONE! we need to laugh...
I wonder why they changed "Come home, Rebecca" in the German version to "Come back, Rebecca" here. I kind of like "home" better!
I think going from m sound to r without pause would probably be harder and that's why, whereas you can link k sound and r better
best best best
Where can I watch this? 😭😭😭
Ich is Maike Boerdam in this recording
Hi I really need Musical Rebecca ENGLISH lyrics and I cannot found it.
Can anyone help me to get lyrics?? Please..
Same... I was looking for it like an hour but nothing came up
They have lyrics now. Google "Rebecca (English Demo) by Pia Douwes lyrics"
ehm das ist pia das wurde sogar beim making of im theater gesagt^^
Pim Bijlsma Do you know if it is possible to get the the whole musical in english? Or just the demo? Google failed me om this one... =(

Ist das die "offizielle" Englische Version oder hatte Pia einfach Spaß am Übersetzen? :)

How about Hungarian?

+McKenzie Virga me too!
Also sollte ich keinen Tinitus haben oder Ohrenschmalz meie Gehöhrgänge verstopfen, gehe ich jede Wette ein, daß hie Pia singt :-)
You guys should watch the Hungarian version,because it is the best in my opinion 😍
Austrian is much, much better!
Null 0 Yeah it is very good,but I prefer the Hungarian.
Who sings the Hungarian version?
Rebecca? or Rebecca(Reprise)?
D.H. K both
great, but in my opinion the hungarian version is more powerful!
Kristóf Szőke Igen!
Kristóf Szőke but i think korean version is best...no offense...

Original from austria is better
It’s....literally the same actress (yes Pia played Mrs Danvers in Stuttgart not Vienna but still the role was literally written for her)

Also, apparently bad lyrics don’t mean a thing on Broadway, look at Mean Girls. They have even worse lyrics and they’ve been running for 2 years now
Thank god it didnt go further on broadway. This sucks
They updated the lyrics in 2017 or so. Pia Douwes sang them in her solo album “After All This Time”
This was her bed and here,
this was her nightgown.
Beautiful, isn’t it?
Hold it and touch it and feel it.
It’s soft and it’s light.
