Japanese Version of GWTW Looks Like a Hit
In Tokyo the Japanese musical adaptation Scarlett opened to a near full social crowd with American director Joe Layton steering the production. The show blends dance and music across a three and a half hour run with Harold Rome’s score and Kazuo Kikuta’s Japanese script. Layton aims for Broadway after the Tokyo engagement, with cast standouts Sakura Kinguji as Scarlett and Kinya Kitaoji as Rhett Butler stepping in after an injury.
