Gone with the Wind stars Darius Danesh and Jill Paice

The musical version of Gone with the Wind, starring Jill Paice and Darius Danesh, is closing in London. Trevor Nunn’s production of Margaret Mitchell’s novel, which began performances at the New London Theatre on April 5 and officially opened on April 22, will complete its run on June 14. It will have played 79 performances.

“Despite the critical response the company has enjoyed much praise from audience members during our run and for that we are grateful,” producer Aldo Scrofani said in a statement. “Nevertheless, we have made the difficult decision to close the production. Plans for a New York production are currently on hold, but in the meantime we are pursuing various options that have been presented to us from interested parties worldwide.”

The musical features music, book and lyrics by Margaret Martin, with an adaptation by Nunn.
