Gwyneth Goes Skiing, an immersive musical inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow, is opening globally after two sold-out performances in London.
Producer Awkward Productions is bringing the show to the U.S., and it has so far included a stop in Utah, where Paltrow lost half a day of skiing after colliding with optician Terry Sanderson mid-climb and subsequently filing a lawsuit. He has also performed in LA and New York. Continue to Canada, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and continental Europe.
They will also be touring another viral production, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, in collaboration with Goudie Events.
“Gwyneth Goes Skiing” features original music by Leland, vocals by Darren Criss and Kat Cohen, and a video appearance by Trixie Mattel, who plays Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother Blythe Danner, and features Paltrow and Sanderson’s courtroom scene. It reenacts the story of the struggle.
“Diana: The Untold Story” follows Diana as she speaks her (un)truth from heaven as she attempts to finally be freed from the British monarchy.
Awkward Productions founders Linus Karp and Joseph Martin will star, with Karp playing Paltrow and Princess Diana, respectively, and Martin playing Sanderson, Charles and Camilla.
The double tour will kick off in Utah in January 2025, before stopping at New York’s Soho Playhouse and Los Angeles’ The Elysian in late January.
Other stops include Thailand, Singapore, Australia (Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Auckland), Canada (Toronto, Calgary, Montreal), Europe (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmö, Gothenburg). , Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki).
British “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Pixie Polite will appear as pre-show support at performances in Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
“Our plans to conquer the world and make our planet strange are finally coming true,” Karp and Martin said. “A murderous mommy-boots-down moment. A wise woman (Beyoncé) once asked, ‘Who runs the world?’ Now the answer to that question is AwkwardProds. I found out something.”
