London,Charing Cross Road,1934
By Wolfgang Suschitzky
Austrian cinematographer and photographer Wolf Suschitzky captured the slow-paced life of London with his characteristic cinematic precision. Before becoming the chief cameraman for documentarian Paul Roth, he managed to film the lives of ordinary people against the backdrop of anti-fascist demonstrations and parliamentary elections.

I want to see Rebecca but am wary on whether the lyrics will hold the same effect after the translation. Are the lyrics decent? Also, is there real fire. Not that it’s a tipping point for me, but then keeping the fire would be great.
I honestly think if ur a big fan of Rebecca you should go, I came out of it so happy and I plan to go see it again before it closes.
The theatre itself is an off-west end theatre, its a smaller venue so it has it limitations. I'm unsure if you have seen Rebecca elsewhere, but compared to when I saw it in Vienna it was a much more scaled down performance, however this is completely what I was expecting so I wasn't disappointed. Due to the nature of the theatre they don't have any real fire, which is a shame, but it makes sense and I still felt the ending was impactful.
When it comes to translation, I personally had no problem with it. It has been changed since the first translations when they tried to take it on to Broadway, but it all flowed well and I felt it fit. I am not a German speaker however so I cannot properly judge the translation.
The actors and their singing were incredible, especially Ich, and really I think that in itself is reason to go.
On a whole, yes I hands down prefer the Vienna production, it was more grand and dramatic. But I still love the smaller English language production we have now. I do have my criticisms but the reality of how difficult this production will have been to direct and produce makes it all valid to me, and so I personally am not disappointed with the show at all.
I hope this is helpful and I didn't ramble on for too long x

Mark Weston (1905-78) was defined as a girl at birth and named Mary Weston. She became a highly successful field athlete and competed in the shot put at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, coming sixth. After the games, Weston said she could no longer continue to live as a woman and consulted specialists at Charing Cross Hospital, undergoing surgery in 1936. After the successful operation, Mark Weston registered his new identity, married Alberta Bray and they had three children together.

The longer I have to wait for the Charing Cross Rebecca cast announcement, the more nervous I become. I know in the back of my mind that The Rebecca Curse™ is broken and that the Charing Cross production will actually open because we would’ve heard by now if it was cancelled, but still I can’t help but wonder.
