Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Trial Musical I wish you all the best Sets West End Transfer

Inspired by the headline-grabbing Hollywood court case in 2023, the musical premiered at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Straight from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Trial Musical I wish you all the best has planned a transfer to the West End. Performances begin on September 11th at the Criterion Theatre and run until October 12th.

The full cast of the Fringe debut will reprise their performances at the London venue, including Diana Vickers as Gwyneth, Marc Antolin as Terry, Tori Allen-Martin as Kristin and Idriss Kargbo as Judge Jude.

The work, which includes music and lyrics by Rick Pearson and a book and additional lyrics by Roger Dipper, revolves around the cheesy trial between Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry, the skier she allegedly collided with on the slopes (spoiler alert: Paltrow emerged victorious in the legal battle after the trial made numerous headlines).

The musical is actually one of two based on the infamous event at the Fringe this year, Gwyneth goes skiing.

The play is directed by Shiv Rabheru, choreographed by Arlene Phillips, musically directed by Debbi Clarke, set and costumes by David Shield, lighting by Alex Lewer, sound by Dan Samson and casting by Seth Mason. Ben Lockwood originally commissioned the play.

Tickets are available at Criterion-Theatre.co.uk.
