Gwyneth the Theater (Threatre?) Producer

What’s next? Gwyneth the theme park?

My girl Gwyneth Paltrow is on a fix to rule the world – how very her old BFF Madonna.

The girl has a hand in publishing, in lifestyle websites.... There’s, of course, her film career. Her ventures into TV and music, which so far have been Emmy-winning and intriguing, respectively. Oh, and there’s her interest in fitness (promotion).

And now, there’s her blossoming career as a theater producer. (Make that, theatre...since, you know...she probably would).

Yes, G.P. is gunning for Broadway.

The multi-hyphenate is producing a show based on the music of the GoGo’s, alongside Donovan Leitch.

I guess her ambition is not sealed.

Bad puns aside, La Paltrow and Leitch have brought on board Avenue Q’s Jeff Whitty to write the book for the show, which – Twist Alert! – will be set in the 1600s and also based on a surprising source material to be revealed come showtime.
