I do like Zizi and after her star turn in Cake she can clearly sell any material, but I'm sure this team were annoyed at how much press Linus Karp's Gwyneth Goes Skiing got, reports in Variety, Rolling Stone, loads of online publications!
I imagine it's just a case of the same idea being done at the same time, but I think the subject matter would suit more of a satirical play with music ala Linus rather than full musicalization. Will be interested to hear reports back from people, but even the title 'I wish you well' and one of the song titles 'I’m Gwynnocent' seem more like jokes you'd make with your friends thinking "wouldn't this be funny if..." and not actually something that would have quality legs. You cant hide behind bad quality and call it camp, which has been the case for some recent British musicals...!
