The world premiere of brand new musical I Wish You Well: The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Trial Musical will run at Underbelly's Udderbelly venue at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 2 - 26 August.

With a book and lyrics by Roger Dipper and Rick Pearson, and starring Diana Vickers as Gwyneth Paltrow (X Factor; Dial M For Murder, West End), the musical is directed by Shiv Rabheru, with musical direction by Debbi Clark, and choreography by Arlene Phillips - produced by Paul Taylor-Mills.

Academy Award winner, bone-broth drinker and devastating downhill skier Gwyneth Paltrow has arrived in a snoozy Utah courtroom ready to defend her legacy.

This four-hander tells the (mostly) true story of the campest celebrity trial in history: Gwyneth vs Terry. Packed full of iconic moments, the questions about Taylor Swift, and the now famous whisper of 'I Wish You Well' – this is a fast-paced parody that sounds as good as Gwyneth's candles smell. Throw in some jade eggs and future classics such as ‘Do You Know Taylor?' and 'I'm Gwynnocent', and you have yourself a hilarious musical bursting with heart.

Director Shiv Rabheru said: “I, like the rest of the world, love true crime and celebrity scandal. The Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial had me hooked and I was addicted to the iconic memes and tweets. The hope with ‘I Wish You Well’ the musical is to feed our audiences fascination with celebrity crime, and pack in even more campery and chaos. We all need a little more joy and silliness in the world and collaborating with Roger, Rick, Arlene and Paul on this fabulous show has had me laughing so hard I’ve needed my inhaler! Ski you in court!?”

Producer Paul Taylor-Mills said: “From the moment I first heard Roger and Rick’s outrageously funny book and hilariously witty songs, I knew that I had to produce this. The musical is utterly ridiculous and hilarious and is the right tonic for what the world needs right now.”

Further casting is to be announced.
