Synopsis
Approaching the final days of a “tour from hell”, the Wannabe “Ginger Spice” from a hit Spice Girls Tribute Act weighs the cost of being ALMOST famous. Featuring an original pop score and mostly true stories from the road, we find Babz at a moment of reckoning as she chronicles the thrills and perils of a life lived in someone else’s platforms.
