Gone with the Wind is being adapted as a stage musical. :

Hugh Jackman is the proposed Rhett.

The above article is wrong, however, in noting that GWTW has never been a stage musical before. Harve Presnell starred as Rhett in a musical version in the 1970s that lasted, mmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe a week!

<<lights dim as Scarlett is seen center stage in rags. She tries valiently to eat a rotten turnip -- her only sustinence for the past handful of days -- but ends up wretching the thing up. The spotlight tightens on her as she sings:>>

As God is my witness, I shan't be hungry again.
Nor be a foil for enemies or men
The Yankees, damn them!, have burned Tara to the ground
And here in our garden, not a morsel to be found!

A turnip! A turnip! My kingdom for a turnip!
If it were hot, I'd have a burnt-lip
From my little turnip!

Will Carol Burnett's curtains be involved?
