I'll start with the good, I quite enjoyed the dancing. A few of the songs had great rhythm to them and I felt like the stage was well used.

Scarlett Fever revisits David O. Selznick’s highly publicized search for the perfect actress to play Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind.

The result, unlikely as it sounds, is a captivating and hypnotic dance through a Tinseltown tall tale.
