Scarlett (musical)

.

Based on Margaret Mitchell's bestseller "Gone with the Wind", it traces the fate of vain, self-centered Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara and dashing blockade runner Rhett Butler, who share a passionately turbulent relationship, from the days prior to the American Civil War through the war itself and the period of Reconstruction that follows it.

.

In August 1973, a revised version of the London production was mounted at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles by the city's Civic Light Opera Association, with Lesley Ann Warren, Pernell Roberts, Udana Power and Terence Monk in the leads. The strongly negative reviews prompted Layton to make numerous changes throughout the Los Angeles and subsequent San Francisco runs, but Fielding cancelled his plan to move the show to Broadway. In 1976, Lucia Victor staged a production in Dallas that travelled to three other cities, but that was the last time the musical was produced.
