UPDATE: Gwyneth Goes Skiing, the stage musical comedy parody of Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous ski trial will slide from London to the United States, via Edinburgh, later this year, with Paltrow’s former Glee co-star Darren Criss lending some pre-recorded vocal tracks.
Producer Awkward Productions announced today on social media that the 90-minute musical, which concluded its run at London’s Pleasance Theatre on February 16, will next play at this summer’s Edinburgh Fringe, with a subsequent engagement planned for later this year at the Egyptian Theatre in Park City, Utah.
The musical stars theater actors Linus Karp as Paltrow and Joseph Martin as optometrist Terry Sanderson, with Criss and comedian Catherine Cohen lending pre-recorded singing vocals to an unspecified number of songs for the Edinburgh and Park City stagings. “The incredible @darrencriss and @catccohen provide their stunning vocals to Gwyneth Goes Skiing as the show heads to Edinburgh Fringe and Park City, Utah – where the trial happened!,” Awkward posted today on social media.
