Doesn't actually have much to do with the Spice Girls...
New details have come out about the Spice Girls musical. The show, Viva Forever, will feature the group's music, but isn't actually about them and won't feature them as characters. Instead, it will be about a reality TV show.
Producer Judy Craymer said: "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."
Just was also behind the ABBA musical Mamma Mia!.
She added, "It has a glimpse of the underbelly of TV talent shows, an invented show, and a little bit of comedy romance."
Mel B 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."
