OCTOBER 23RD - 26TH
CENTENARY THEATRE, BERKHAMSTED.
The latest production by award-winning Berkhamsted Theatre Company, 'Spend, Spend, Spend' is the acclaimed musical based on the true story of the infamous football pools winner, Viv Nicholson.
We follow Viv’s tragic and love-soaked story across three decades in a stunning theatrical production, steeped in beautiful, haunting music as she wins it all and throws it away as quickly. She captured the hearts and smiles of a nation. She inspired The Smiths, adorning their record cover for ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’ and gripped our attention with her candid interviews and brave retorts.
Yet the tragedy that followed the fortune has us all wondering, would we ever want to win...? We can dream, just never as big as Viv!
