An Oscar-winning actress and lifestyle entrepreneur collides with a retired optometrist on a Utah ski slope. The optometrist sues, claiming a life-altering brain injury. Not so fast, says the starlet; it was his fault, and she countersues, seeking damages of… one dollar. The media, not surprisingly, laps it up, covering the ensuing trial with a breathless gravity best reserved for just about anything else.
Imagine what the Gwyneth Paltrow/Terry Sanderson story might yield from someone with a sense of mischief or humor, a Tom Wolfe or a Rachel Kushner or a Nick Broomfield.

A musical inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow‘s ski trial is opening soon!
Earlier this year, the 50-year-old actress was involved in a civil trial after retired optometrist Terry Sanderson sued her, alleging that Gwyneth collided with him from behind while he was skiing with an instructor at Deer Valley Resort in Utah in February 2016.
Gwyneth was awarded a symbolic $1 at the end of the trial, as Terry was ruled 100% at fault for the crash.

Gwyneth Goes Skiing, a comedy musical based the trial, will open on December 13 at London’s Pleasance Theater.
The synopsis reads: “She’s the Goop-founding, Door-Sliding, Shakespeare-In-Loving, consciously-uncoupling Hollywood superstar. He’s a retired Optometrist from Utah. In 2016, they went skiing. On the slopes of Deer Valley, their worlds collided, and so did they — literally. Ouch. Seven years later in 2023, they went to court. Double ouch. This is their story.

A little over six months ago, Gwyneth Paltrow — an actress who has won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and an Emmy (an Eggo?) — won one whole dollar in a civil suit against a retired optometrist who collided with her while skiing. The prize was the result of a surreal two-week trial that stopped just short of a cause célèbre due to the meme-ably absurd nature of how it unfolded.

Gwyneth Paltrow may have lost half a day of skiing, but she’s gained a musical based on her recent courtroom adventure.
A London theatre has announced Gwyneth Goes Skiing, a satire musical based on the actress and wellness guru’s 2016 ski slope collision with a retired optometrist and subsequent 2023 courtroom battle, where she successfully defended herself against a lawsuit.
Reads the musical’s official description on the Pleasance Theatre site: “She’s the Goop-founding, Door-Sliding, Shakespeare-In-Loving, consciously-uncoupling Hollywood superstar. He’s a retired Optometrist from Utah. In 2016, they went skiing. On the slopes of Deer Valley, their worlds collided, and so did they – literally. Ouch. Seven years later in 2023, they went to court. Double ouch. This is their story. Kind of. Not really. But also, it’s at Christmas.”
The audience will also get to serve as the jury and help decide Paltrow’s legal fate.
The show is from Awkward Productions,...
