And Finally
Spice Girls reunite for press conference
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 27 June 2012
As expected, the Spice Girls got back together yesterday for a press conference to announce the Jennifer Saunders-penned musical using their music, ‘Viva Forever’. Produced by Judy Craymer, who was also responsible for ‘Mamma Mia’, it will open at The Piccadilly Theatre in London on 11 Dec, replacing ‘Ghost: The Musical’.
As well as announcing that one small piece of information, the group padded out the event with some chit chat. Here, according to Reuters, is one of the things that Victoria Beckham said: “As much as we’ve written the songs, we also didn’t want to creatively stifle Judy and Jennifer. So, somewhat, we have let them do what they do. Their success speaks for themselves. We really gave them the freedom to do their thing. We had a lot of faith in them”.
And here is a thing that Geri Halliwell said: “It’s not about actually us, it’s the essence of the Spice Girls. There is a talent show in there, but actually, really what it’s about is about friendship, it’s about motherhood and then there is a little bit of how do you juggle between success and friendship?”
Well done, theatre. Well done.
