"Les Mis was a 700 page book"

More like 1400.

The version of Les Mis on my shelf is a cool 2000 pages.

I think Gone With the Wind has a lot of potential-and Jill Paice should be Melanie, not Scarlett.

THanks for the fact checking. Never read it, but I always see actors reading it at chorus calls and it looks monstrous.

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

James Barbour as Rhett! If Tale of Two Cities cannot open in 2008, he should start this.

Not Barbour. He's a good looking guy, but he's not Rhett Butler.

To those that suggested Hugh Jackman as Rhett, he's not available - he just finished filming Baz Luhrmann's "Australia" which took nine months and starts filming "Wolverine" in three weeks and that's supposed to last through May or June.

Gone With The Wind already had a less than successful musical outing here in the UK in the 70s which ran at Drury Lane theatre for around a year and lost all its initial investment

I'm kinda keeping my fingers crossed that they get it right this time around.

Why do people today want to be told stories they already know by heart, backwards and forwards?

I've never seen the appeal in that.

Is it our VHS/DVD "on demand" generation that watches the same movie or TV show hundreds of times in a row, or whenever they feel like it?

I think that has something to do with it.

But the "commercial theatre community" has been inundated with shows that EVERYBODY knows already. They can quote the dialog, tell you who dies, whodunit, who falls in love, or who wins the war before the overture even starts.

It's baffling to me.

Hello. I've been lurking for a while but have never posted before this. But as a huge fan of the movie GWTW (and someone who never made it through the book!) I am intrigued by the idea of this "Gone With the Wind" musical. Has anyone heard any of the music from the show? I've been searching online for anything - the slightest hint of the material that's been written by a first time musical writer who is getting her first show premiered in the West End with such a stellar creative team. It seems sort of unprecedented. I, for one, am dying to hear and see what this show is all about.
