Viva Forever!

Viva Forever! at Piccadilly Theatre

Why see Viva Forever!?

Bands as diverse as ABBA, The Beatles and Blondie have all seen jukebox musicals formed from their catalogue of hits and it was only a matter of time before the Spice Girls, the ubiquitous pop phenomenon of the 90's, had theirs turned into a musical. Directed by Judy Cramer, producer of the global smash hit Mamma Mia! and written by award-winning screenwriter and comedian Jennifer Saunders, Viva Forever! now makes its West End debut at the Piccadilly Theatre.

The Spice Girls are the most successful girl group of our times, having sold more than 75 million records world wide. Their fizzy, feisty pop takes centre stage in this production and it's a show that's just as bouncy and bubbly as the girls in their heyday. Hits including Wannabe, Spice Up Your Life and 2 Become 1 are performed by an all-singing, all-dancing cast; Hannah John Kamen shines in her West End debut as the titular Viva.

WHAT IS VIVA FOREVER! ABOUT?

The show opens the day after Viva and her three best friends have successfully auditioned for a TV Talent competition. The band progresses to the final rounds of Starseekers, but Viva is singled out to continue as a solo act leaving her with a difficult decision to make; will she stay with her friends or pursue fame alone? This light-hearted story serves up plenty of laughs as well as touching moments.

Energising and fun

Went to see the show not sure what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent performances from all the cast, high octane song and dance numbers. There was comedy, pathos, romance, clever and stunning scenery and costumes. What more could you ask for? ... Read more

Viva forever - better than I expected

I have just come back from a weekend in London to celebrate my friends birthday. We went to see viva forever on Saturday evening and it had a decent storyline, the singing and dancing was really good and it was lively throughout! Everyone sang along when it was appropriate so I'm not sure why people had previously commented that they were unable to! I think it's very sad tht the show is coming to an end as I think it would do really well if it went on tour!!!! I think it would probably be a sellout! The medley at the end was great and just enough! Thoroughly enjoyed ... Read more
