For "Gone with the Wind – The Making of the Musical," a TCM camera crew has been given exclusive access to shadow the production, following the process of the cast and crew, led by director Trevor Nunn and stars Darius Danesh (as Rhett Butler) and Jill Paice (as Scarlett O'Hara), as they prepare to bring the show to the stage.

March 17, 200817 yr It's in a different place - so more people who didn't know, will now know it's on. I had noticed it was already.
March 19, 200817 yr I can't blame Darius this time, but It's still strange that I'm away at that time.
March 19, 200817 yr But not for the whole 6 months. That must be good to know he's doing longer than he normally does - just for you.
March 31, 200817 yr I've just been looking on TCM for April. It's down to be shown on the 24th but not the 20th. It'll make multi recordings impossible.. Virgin don't have TCM2 which shows the repeats.

I can tell you that the producer had contacted surviving film cast members—Ann Rutherford, Mickey Kuhn, Cammie King, etc—about attending the opening. But they never heard anything more so that is all up in the air. I do know that Ann Rutherford has commited to attending a screening of GWTW at a theater in Honolulu, Hawaii in early May
March 31, 200817 yr It still isn't showing on TCM schedule for the 20th April. http://tcmonline.co.uk/listings/index.jsp?...;m=4&y=2008
March 31, 200817 yr I was trying to find out whether the TCM documentary would be available to buy, as I can't record it.
March 31, 200817 yr Author if they are showing the film on the 20th it seems a wasted opportunity! why does nothing go smoothly - I do hope they show it more than once! most of these channels repeat their programs over and over
