I WISH YOU WELL - THE GWYNETH PALTROW SKI TRIAL MUSICAL to play at Turbine Theatre

It has been announced that a work-in-progress concert performance of I Wish You Well - The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Trial Musical will play at the Turbine Theatre on 11 December.

Starring Zizi Strallen (Cake, West End/tour; Mary Poppins, West End) as Gwyneth Paltrow, the musical has music and lyrics by Rick Pearson and a book and additional lyrics by Roger Dipper.

Fresh from a guided mushroom retreat in Mexico, Academy Award Winner, entrepreneur, and devastating downhill skier Gwyneth Paltrow has arrived in a snoozy Utah courtroom! I Wish You Well tells the inspiring story of Gwyneth Paltrow as she defends her legacy in the most iconic ski-collision trial in history, and develops an unlikely friendship with small-town lawyer, Kristen.

Featuring future classics such as ‘Do You Know Taylor?’, ‘I’m Gwynnocent’, and the 11 o’clock number ‘I Wish You Well’, this hilariously camp and surprisingly moving musical concert is a one-of-a-kind courtroom drama bursting with idol worship and heart.

Joining Zizi will be Lizzy Connolly (Pygmalion, Old Vic) as Kristen Fangirlin, Oli Higginson (The Last Five Years, Southwark Playhouse/West End) as Terry Sightworsens, and Idriss Kargbo (The Lion King, West End) as The Judge.

Ski you in court!
