The spectacular production, based on the world-famous novel by Daphne Du Maurier, is coming back to Vienna this September. Francesca Zambello (Director of Original Production) is recreating the show for the revival run with Simon Eichenberg (Choreography) and Peter J. Davison. ( Set Design)

Manderlay is coming back with a promising cast!

Christian Struppeck ( happy 10th anniversary as Vienna's mover and shaker in the Musical Business) lifted the secret and presented the cast to the press. No one else than Broadway and West End Leading Lady Willjemein Verkaik is going to play the part of Maxim De Winters ( played by Mark Seibert) sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers. REBECCA will mark Verkaiks's debut at the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien, and it will be a highly anticipated one.

Ana Milva Gomes ( Mrs. van Hopper), Annemieke van Dam ( Beatrice/ alt.
