Gwyneth, the musical?

Have we discussed this? I think the premise is hilarious, a musical about her ski trial.

Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial musical set for U.S. debut with new vocals

We discussed it when it started as a Brit musical, I bet it's hilarious. And knowing her, she'll probably watch a performance herself. She knows that self-deprecating humor is popular and being perceived to have it is good for the brand.





The reviews were benevolent, but it caught some flak for its canned music so perhaps they are now making amends for the US performances.

I like humorous plays/musicals about things that per se aren't really funny:
