SYNOPSIS
In 1961, before The Beatles, moonwalking and the mini
skirt, housewife Viv Nicholson won the first mega-jackpot on the football
pools. When the papers asked Viv Nicholson what she'd do with her new
fortune, her answer turned her into a household name: "I'm going
to spend, spend, spend!".
Her rags to riches and back to rags story took her through
five husbands, fast cars, bankruptcy and booze. She woke up spent.
This riveting new musical charts the tragedy, the comedy
and the love story that is the legend of Viv Nicholson
