January events in London
Viva Forever!
'Friendship never ends' declared the Spice Girls back in 1997, and though Posh, Ginger, Baby, B and C have gone some way towards challenging that statement over the last 15 years, the fact of the matter is that all five of them appear to be firmly united behind this jukebox musical built from their songs, which they helped launch in June this year.
