Although officially announced towards the end of last year, we now have some further details of the Spice Girls musical Viva Forever.
With producer Judy Craymer at the helm (she’s behind the ABBA musical Mamma Mia!), Viva Forever will be in the same vain as Mamma Mia!, where the musical will follow an original storyline using the songs of the Spice Girls.
With the book to be written by Jennifer Saunders (from Ab Fab fame), it will take us behind the scenes of a reality TV show, and the people who strive for instant fame!!
As Judy Craymer explains:
"We live in a world dominated by people wanting to be famous. What the Spice Girls did was before those shows became really what they are, and before the world become slightly obsessed by such shows. Viva Forever will encompass the Spice Girls ethos of friendship, identity and being true to yourself, it won't be a tribute or bio show, nor will it feature characters with any of the names of the famous five piece."
"It has a glimpse of the underbelly of TV talent shows, an invented show, and a little bit of comedy romance."
As with the involvement of ABBA for Mamma Mia!, Viva Forever has the full support of all Spice Girls members and Mel B has recently said:
"All five of us are really super excited. We don't do anything unless all five agree. All of us loved Mamma Mia!. We needed someone who would have a great vision alongside ours."
Mamma Mia! proved to be such a huge hit, with not only the stage musical but also the film version, and with Jennifer Saunders writing, we can only predict that Viva Forever will go the same way!!
What do you think?? Will you see Viva Forever when it opens??
