'Viva Forever!'Tells the story of a beautiful, talented girl and her best friends who get swept up in the obsession of today’s TV celebrity culture. As she follows her dream, the musical charts her journey into the world of overnight fame and its impact on her relationships with her mother and the friends she thought she’d have forever. From London to Spain and back again, as they confront the bitter reality of fame and as the world judges her, she and her mother learn to empower themselves and be who they really want to be
'Viva Forever' has just had its official launch in London with all the old girls showing up and trying to spice up the proceedings. Time will tell!
The press and buzz this has received today is quite remarkable. I even got put in a queue on the ATG website when looking at tickets, that has never happened before.

The atmosphere in that place today was sliceable with a chainsaw. Each of them was shuffled in and then shuffled out with the barest of contact amongst them. Supposedly the whole thing has been a huge nightmare with one and all wanting to help with the production but b=not one wanting to be in the same rom, country even, as the others! I think in the future good old Jennifer Saunders will make a wonderfully funny sketch out of how this whole thing came together.
They're anticipating it being as big as Mamma Mia. Not a chance - Mamma Mia at least has a memorable score.

What is wrong with Victoria beckham. Whenever I see her she seems to be acting like some 14 year-old problem child who doesn't want to go to the family Christmas get-together. She looks positively retarded. I'm sure she's actually quite bright, so this persona is all the more offensive!
