Stop.
Close your eyes. Take a moment. Remember. Do you recall a time, not so long
ago? A time of innocence? A time of simplicity? A time of Beanie Babies, bubble
chairs, white eye-liner, Ring-Pops, bucket hats and bicycle shorts? Let's be
honest...It's no secret that the 90's were by far the most colourful, dynamic
and entertaining decade of all. It really felt as though life couldn't get any
better...
Then
along came the Spice Girls. In 1996, the hit song “Wannabe” swept the
world in a swell of pre-teen, bubble-gum hysteria. Ginger, Baby, Scary, Posh
and Sporty became the new faces of pop music and girls (boys too!) everywhere
were instant fans! With 65 million records sold world-wide, the Spice girls
became the best selling girl-group of all time. It was total Spice-Mania!
Fast
forward twenty years or so, and Millennials are all grown up. Now, more than
ever, people feel an urge to reminisce. With 90's nostalgia in full swing and
talks of a Spice Girls reunion circulating online, there is a new group in town
that aims to satisfy the world's absolute craving for SPICE!
Wannabe is the brainchild of a
group of Toronto based performers, including Stratford’s Anika Johnson,
who also just happen to be best friends. Wannabe was born one summer
when the girls were crammed in a house while performing in a summer musical,
right around the start of 90’s nostalgia. The girls went to work. After an
intense period of “Spice Girls Training”, which included studying concert
footage and music videos, creating choreography, arranging songs and harmonies,
and rehearsing for several months, Wannabe was ready to hit the stage for what
they thought would be a one-off concert for friends and family at the legendary
Toronto venue, The El Mocambo. They were wrong. The
show sold out and they haven’t looked back.
Wannabe has been thrilling
audiences and blowing the roof off concert venues across North America for the
past 10 years. With giant personalities, mega-watt singing voices, spot-on choreography,
costume changes, English accents and platform shoes, these powerhouse women
have brought Girl Power into the 21st century with their larger-than life, epic
shows. Wannabe is one of the most sought after acts in North America,
selling out concert halls, theatres, clubs, casinos, outdoor festivals and
more. As they have gained popularity, the shows have expanded to include not
only Spice Girls songs, but hits from other 90’s superstars including Brittany
Spears, Janet Jackson, and Madonna. The girls have appeared on stages alongside
legendary 90’s acts including TLC, The Goo Goo Dolls,
Aqua, 98 Degrees, O-Town, Lance Bass (N’Sync) and
Aaron Carter. Wannabe is as close to the real thing as you’re ever going
to get!
