There was a musical version of "GWTW" in Japan. I think everyone got sued because the Mitchell estate holds tight rein on the rights. Actually, I think a musical might work, especially if it portrayed the slaves as sad through their songs, rather than treating them like cheerful children in the beginning, till the Yankees ruined everything. The racism HAS to go, but the staircase HAS to stay.
You alone can make my song take flight.
