Gone - but not forgotten

Upon returning to the UK the biggest theatre news to hit me was the fact that Gone With The Wind, which opened on 22nd April will close before the last week in June. This is the closest I have ever been to a monumental failure – Gareth was on the crew and Lee was an ASM. I saw the opening night and quite frankly, I cannot understand where the money came from for it to open it was such a corker. That’s two big closures in less than six months (Desperately Seeking Susan being the other) – life on the West End must been feeling pretty grim at the moment. Still, I have Zorro - El Musical to look forward to in July – gulp!
