Actress Gwyneth Paltrow‘s legal battle with a skiing optometrist has got the musical treatment. ‘Gwyneth Goes Skiing’ is set to debut in London this December.
Linus Karp will star as Paltrow while Terry Sanderson, the optometrist who collided with her on a Utah ski slope in 2016, is played by Joseph Martin, reports Variety. The show features original music by singer and songwriter Leland.
‘Gwyneth Goes Skiing’ is based on the court trial between Paltrow and Sanderson that took place earlier this year.
As per Variety, Sanderson filed suit against the ‘Sliding Doors’ star after their collision, claiming he was left with a concussion, four broken ribs and a brain injury.
