next month for

and
Rigoletto.

Viva Forever, London
Whether you mimicked their dance
moves or had a crush on Baby, the Spice
Girls were a massive part of the 90s for
many of us. Premiering in the Piccadilly
Theatre, Viva Forever will attempt to
recapture the magic and, with thousands
booking tickets ‘ironically’ already, it
looks set to be a massive hit.
Tickets from
£20; vivaforeverthemusical.com
