I've never seen that bus - and I have looked really hard. Spam worked nights, came down here AND THEN WENT TO THE SHOW. Talk about resilience - and, Nina, in case you're reading, she didn't fall asleep.

I'm not up on what has been posted recently so forgive me if this is a repeat.

 

 

 

It was good to watch again. They were very good but, it's amazing how much better the cast is now.

So that clip has been posted before then.

I'm not sure. It's very, very like one I've seen but, I'm not positive it's identical.

Another review. Sounds like the show I saw.

Darius Danesh is magnificent. He is handsome, can both sing and act and his speaking voice is in the deep registers and is very sexy and commanding. His singing voice, essentially a baritone, did seem to have a higher range as well. In his opening scene he is well groomed and every other male member of the cast (with the exception of Edward Baker-Duly as Ashley Wilkes) is having a bad wig day so that Rhett stands out for his height, his wonderful tailoring, his hair cut and his gorgeous sense of style and wry humour.......

 

..........I was fortunate enough to speak with a lady from Georgia who had liked it and was looking forward to seeing the show in New York. I am confident that many people who love musicals will enjoy Gone With the Wind and Darius Danesh’s all round performance is very memorable —and yes, you may well give a damn!

Thanks BT added it to the review thread :)

Thanks for the curtainup review. That is for me a real in depth review of someone who really saw the show.

I love the last review in the review thread, so true about Darius! I must admit he put me in mind of a big black thoroughbred stallion, every muscle defined in those trousers - I def have a think about his thighs..LOL when he entered the stage, surrounded by pit ponies..it was just he was so groomed, so handsome and toned, so perfect-- I couldnt help thinking of the analogy, as he strode on, noble - completely outshining the other men

It's a shame more of the people doing critiques don't watch the show.

Lets hope word of mouth gets round quickly

Now darius uis a horse. I think you need a cold bath pip.

Oh I don't know. You know I've always had a thing about Darius and horses too.

 

I love the video of the making of Live Twice where it shows Darius the man not Darius the character in the video with Rodriguez.

It didn't show him nearly being kicked though. I do like Darius best as himself when he's not putting on an act for people around.

He should have known better!

 

 

It's a shame they don't have a real horse in GWTW. I'm sure Darius would love it if they did.

It was funny I think it was during the nancy show they did a number where they were pretending to be galloping as a cart but they used spinning umbrellas for the wheels, quite effective.

This popped up. Not really GWTW but.

Article history

About this articleClose This article appeared in the Guardian on Monday May 19 2008 on p27 of the Comment & debate section. It was last updated at 07:27 on May 19 2008. A play called Fat Pig began its previews in London on Friday. "I simply called it Fat Pig," its author, Neil LaBute, explained in G2 on Tuesday, "because I thought it a wholly appropriate and provocative moniker for a play that examines global fascination with weight and dieting, but is ultimately a study in male weakness." One of the joys about titles, he went on to reflect, is that they are rarely copyrighted: "If I'm stupid enough to want to call my new screenplay Gone with the Wind, then I have a right to do so."

 

There's a curious subplot here I've recently come across while investigating what LaBute calls "a rarely considered miniature art form" - the way authors choose titles. An enticing picture in G2 on Thursday showed a soulful man, darkly handsome, white shirt unbuttoned, leaning forward to embrace a woman in a vibrant red gown. Above their heads was the legend: Gone With the Wind, to advertise the musical version of Margaret Mitchell's novel, also running in London. Would this image, I mused, have been quite so alluring if the title across the top had been not Gone With the Wind, but, as was once proposed, Pansy? Or Tote the Weary Load? Or even - hardly credible, but I found it solemnly listed as one of the earlier contenders - Ba! Ba! Black Sheep

Starnge as they may seem I think the title suggestions in that article are perhaps true, with maybe the exception of the black sheep.

 

Apparently Scarlett was first called Pansy by Margaret Mitchell. Maybe as the story developed and it became a bit more racy, she reconsidered her heroine's name.
