I Wish You Well: The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Trial musical transfers to West End

The Edinburgh Fringe hit show opens on 11 September

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

I Wish You Well: The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Trial Musical is a four-hander that 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.

Having wowed critics at the Fringe, the full cast will continue in their roles for I Wish You Well at the Criterion Theatre this autumn:

X Factor star Diana Vickers (Dial M for Murder) as Gwyneth, Marc Antolin (Quiz) as Terry,
Tori Allen-Martin (Wild About You) as Kristin and Idriss Kargbo (Wicked) as Judge Jude.

The show is written by Roger Dipper and Rick Pearson, directed by Shiv Rabheru, and choreographed by Arlene Philips.

The show will run at the Criterion Theatre from 11 September to 12 October 2024.
