A musical about a ski accident, who would think of that? 

This question is posed by Diana Vickers' Gwyneth Paltrow halfway through this joyously silly show based on the infamous trial in which retired optometrist Terry Sanderson attempted to sue the movie star for skiing into him on the slopes of Utah.

The answer - gay men - is revealed by Kristen Fangirling, Sanderson's Paltrow-obsessed lawyer who is played by the hilarious Tori Allen-Martin.

The show is previewing at Norwich Theatre Playhouse before it heads to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe next month.

The clever one-hour musical captures all the most bizarre moments from the trial, from Paltrow asking if she could bring in gifts for the courtroom to being asked if she is friends with Taylor Swift.

It is fast-paced with nods to recent pop culture events such as the Glasgow Willy Wonka experience and Netflix's Baby Reindeer, with plenty of RuPaul's Drag Race references too.

Vickers captures the essence of Paltrow and her voice has got even better since her days on The X Factor.  

By the end of the musical, Vickers had really settled into her role and the dynamic between Gwyneth and obsessed lawyer Kristen was very strong.

The writers and cast have really nailed the camp satire of this iconic pop culture moment.

The musical was silly in an elevated and intelligent way and I would highly recommend a visit to the Playhouse if you are looking for a feel-good night full of laughter.
