VIVA FOREVER!
A jukebox musical by Jennifer Saunders and Judy Cramer based on the music of the Spice Girls.
Piccadilly Theatre, London - 27th November, 2012
VIVA FOREVER!, a wonderfully joyous contemporary musical about the value of friendship in the face of fame and fortune!
As one girl follows her dreams, VIVA FOREVER! charts her journey into the world of overnight celebrity and its impact on her mother, and the friends she thought she’d have forever. From London to Spain and back again, as the world judges you, it’s all about who you really are and who you want to be, whatever the cost.
An exhilarating and irresistibly funny tale of love, loyalty and romance. An original story of our times, inspired by the songs of the Spice Girls.
