Recently Updated

"Scarlett" is a musical that is based on the novel "Scarlett" by Alexandra Ripley, which is a sequel to Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind". The musical follows the story of Scarlett O'Hara, a Southern belle who is determined to win back her true love, Rhett Butler, after he leaves her. The musical takes place in the Reconstruction Era in the South, where Scarlett tries to rebuild her life and her relationships with Rhett and her daughter, Bonnie.

The story begins with Scarlett's return to Tara, her family's plantation, after the end of the Civil War. She is determined to rebuild her life and regain the wealth and status she had before the war. She discovers that Rhett has left her and is living in New Orleans. Scarlett travels to New Orleans to try and win him back, but she is met with resistance from Rhett, who has moved on with his life.

The musical features a score by Harold Rome and was directed by Peter Coe. It premiered in Tokyo in 1972 and was later produced on Broadway in 1976, but it was not well received by critics and closed after only 3 performances. Despite its short run, "Scarlett" has become a cult favorite among fans of the "Gone with the Wind" franchise.
