Spice Girls musical is on
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 22 January 2010
It’s been rumoured for some time, but Simon Fuller has now confirmed that a Spice Girls musical is in the works. The show is being put together by ‘Mamma Mia!’ producer Judy Craymer. I was going to make a joke about the title probably being something really half-arsed, like ‘Viva Forever’, but apparently that actually is the title.
Announcing the project, Fuller said:”The girls and I are very excited to be working with Judy Craymer. What Judy has achieved with her all conquering box office smash hit ‘Mamma Mia!’ and what the Spice Girls created with their powerful record breaking mix of ‘girl power’ and hit songs, has influenced pop culture more than anyone can imagine. Now with this incredible new project ‘Viva Forever’ we all come together as partners with a combined focus to create something really special for this next decade.”
Craymer added: “I’m delighted that Simon Fuller and The Spice Girls are so supportive of the idea of ‘Viva Forever’. I want to create a unique celebration of the band and its music, with its own flavour and joyful message. It is important to me that the excitement, style and humour of The Spice Girls is well represented on stage”.
