You didn't know what? That she married Damien Chapa twice, and added together they were not as long as her marriage to Darius to date?

Darius always tries to behave as a gentleman. She files for divorce regardless, the house they both own will be hers

California divorce law entitles both spouses to half the value of any community property & income acquired during the marriage, unless there is a pre-nuptial agreement.

 

Re rehearsals for FHTE, I found an article which said rehearsals began on 22nd July! I don't think any so far involve the non-soldier elements of the cast. It seems to be about boxing and bugle playing etc i.e skills which will need to be acquired before they start working on the book and the production.

I get the impression she cares more about her career than she did about him. Still hope he finds someone just right for him who appreciates him for who he is.
Why on earth should he feel humiliated?

 

He may or may not, but that feeling of 'failure' will be there.

 

It's amazing the amount of different emotions I went through. Most of them I shouldn't have felt.

Whatever has or hasn't happened, I just hope he's left in peace now to get on with his life and throw himself into his new role. Sue

That would be great if it happened, but we know the UK media.

 

Don't look into his eyes or stand too close to him at the stage door or YOU may be splashed over the mags as his new girlfriend, girls.

 

It's ironic that part of Warden's dialogue is a conversation about divorce.

 

 

 

I just hope he's ok. I'm sure he will be as he's a strong man with a loving family and friends.

mm, not a clue, Britney time and again..

I didn't realise Denise and Lee were through too! rare for things to last these days,

They only announced they had split up a few days ago. Give it time. What are the press like.

It's galling for Metro to be perpetuating the myth that Darius can't sing, given their review of GWTW, Copied from the pinned thread of theatre reviews:-

Gone With The Wind is too blustery

Keith Watson - Thursday, April 24, 2008

 

Tomorrow, as Scarlett O'Hara likes to remind us, is another day. But there are times during Trevor Nunn's exhaustively epic musical account of Margaret Mitchell's novel when you fear that day will never come.

 

Hidden amid all the historical bluster, Gone With The Wind is actually quite a simple story: girl wants the one she can't have, which blinds her to the merits of her true soulmate.

 

So soulmate eventually legs it, thus proving that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

 

The fact that it takes nearly four hours for the dime to drop is down to Gone With The Wind's sweeping backdrop; spoilt Scarlett's love traumas are caught up in the turbulence of the American Civil War.

 

Key events rattle past in a time-warping blur; the plot is thrust forward by narrators scuttling across stage like Pony Express messengers.

 

As an exercise in efficient stagecraft – the famed burning of Atlanta is neatly handled with a giant blazing flag – it ticks all the boxes.

 

The polished ensemble cast shift slickly from character to character and adapter Margaret Martin does an even-handed job of condensing Gone With The Wind's major themes, thrusting the emancipation of slavery centre-stage and catching the spirit of tumultuous times.

 

But it's all too much for one musical to hope to contend with.

 

None of which would matter two shakes of a Confederate's tail if Gone With The Wind came stacked with big tunes.

 

But Martin's Les Mis-lite score is more workmanlike than inspired, clunky lyrics and second-hand tunes serviceably pushing the story forward but failing to stop the show.

 

Tellingly, it's the gospel-influenced slave songs that pack the most emotional punch.

 

That's because, while it's easy to feel concern for the slaves' plight, Scarlett is a hard heroine to warm to.

 

Her journey is essentially from spoilt brat to hard b**ch, so an actress needs to harness real charisma to stir audiences' hearts.

 

While Jill Paice is sharp and sassy (and, at times, painfully shrill), crucially she can't make Scarlett sympathetic.

 

So it's hard to give a damn about her baffling infatuation with the drippy Ashley, particularly when her Rhett is such a catch.

 

Against the odds, the true star of the show is Darius Danesh, who banishes all memories of his ludicrous Pop Idol buffoonery with a performance of subtlety and roguish charm as Rhett Butler.

 

His deep, velvety voice is ideally suited to Nobody Knows You, one of the rare moments when Gone With The Wind transcends musical cliché.

 

You just wish he had more to do, for while Gone With The Wind huffs and puffs, Darius aside, it never comes close to blowing the house down.
