VIVIEN LEIGH & GONE WITH THE WIND
POOR REVIEWS DOOM GWTW THE MUSICAL
(Posted: 02 Jun 2008 12:57 PM CDT)
A London stage production of Gone With The Wind is set to close three months early - after just 79 performances.
The show - starring former Pop Idol talent show contestant Darius Danesh - will come to an end later this month following poor reviews from theatre critics and disastrous ticket sales.
But, producer Aldo Scrofani insists the West End show had been a success with its fans. He says, “Despite the critical response, the company have enjoyed much praise from audience members during our run and for that we are grateful.”
The stage adaptation of the 1936 novel will see its final curtain fall at the New London Theatre on 14 June. Bookings after that date will be refunded.
