Of all the enormous pop groups from the 90s, the Spice Girls most deserve a musical based on their music (sorry LFO) and, as luck would have it, they’re getting one! Simon Fuller, who managed the Girls until 1997, is teaming up with Judy Craymer, who created Mamma Mia!, to bring Viva Forever to London’s West End. Cryamer says she plans to “create a unique celebration of the band and its music, with its own flavour and joyful message,†while excited Spice Girls fans everywhere say they plan to slam their bodies down and wind them all around.
