A news release said that the GWTW production, featuring music and lyrics by unknown composer Margaret Martin, has been in development for three years. It quoted producer Aldo Scrofani as saying that it would "remain true to Margaret Mitchell's original story and characters while also revealing its relevance to our lives today." The 1939 movie adaptation of Mitchell's book is regarded as the most successful movie of all time.
