NPR: There's a new mystery on Broadway — one about the musical Rebecca, based on the Daphne du Maurier novel.
You can't see it yet on the New York stage. In fact, it hasn't even started rehearsals. That's because the production is short $4.5 million after one of its investors died before he could hand over the money.
But as Patrick Healy reports in The New York Times, some are now wondering if this investor ever existed. Healy spoke with NPR's Melissa Block about whether this show really will go on.

I find this article to be very interesting. A stunt like this seems to be very fitting for this musical because of the nature and style of the show. I am questioning, however, if this is a publicity stunt to attempt to get this show noticed before it opens. If it is, this is one brilliant plan...Tell everyone that the show is opening and then cancel it because of a mysterious producer has died...It's genius. I certainly hope that this is a stunt and not a real problem that the show is facing... It's very "Phantom of the Opera" and I approve if this is a marketing stunt!
