General ticket sales for the eighth Korean season of Rebecca opened October 8 at 11:00 AM. The musical landed at No. 1 in the musical category on both NOL Ticket and Melon Ticket. It runs November 24, 2026 through March 14, 2027 at the Grand Theater of Chungmu Art Center in Seoul.
A music video released ahead of the season featured new cast members Lee A-reum-sol (이아름솔) and Kim Woo-hyung (김우형). Fans responded strongly to it.
The show's track record
Rebecca comes from playwright Michael Kunze and composer Sylvester Levay, who created Mozart! and Elisabeth. It's adapted from Daphne du Maurier's novel. The show premiered in Vienna, Austria in 2006 and has been performed over 3,200 times across 15 countries in 12 languages.
Korea got its first production in 2013. Seven seasons later, cumulative attendance crossed 1 million—the first EMK Musical Company production to hit million-seller status. At the 7th The Musical Awards, held after the Korean premiere, Rebecca won five prizes: directing, stage design, lighting, sound, and supporting actress.
