Based on the novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

It is 1861, and the Civil War is poised to change life in Georgia forever. Spoiled belle Scarlett O'Hara pursues her pampered and coquettish interests. Infatuated with the refined Ashley Wilkes despite his engagement to the sweet Melanie, Scarlett is determined to have her way no matter who suffers, a quality that attracts dashing blockade runner Rhett Butler.

Gone with the Wind was first published in 1936, and went on to win a Pulitzer Prize and become one of the best-selling novels of all time. It took 10 years for Margaret Mitchell to write, and was the only novel she ever published. In 1939 it was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film that remains one of the greatest films of all time. Find out more about the novel, the film, or the development of the musical.

There's only one recording of this show available so far -read my review of the CD, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs. A DVD of the show was released in April 2004 - I haven't seen it yet, but I'll add my thoughts here when I do!

I haven't had a chance to see this show yet, but I hope that it will follow the path of Roméo & Juliette and come to Québec sometime in the near future, and hopefully I can see it there! I'll add my thoughts here if I do.

Since I haven't seen the show yet, all my favourite performers come from the recording - take a look at my thoughts on some of them. Once you're done looking around here, check out some of the other Auntant en emporte le vent websites that are out there.
