Girl
Power is set to live forever…. In a West End musical called Viva Forever! After
selling 75 million records worldwide the Spice Girls are the biggest girl band
in history.
Their pure pop sound and story-telling lyrics their songs lend
themselves with theatreland. The girls were empowering for women and everyone
loved them in their hey day, but are people still interested in hearing the
songs in a musical format? Only time will tell.
Total
Biz World are excited to discover which songs will be included in the line-up
as the story was revealed earlier this week. The obvious mega hits are certain
to be included such as Wannabe, Say You’ll Be There and 2 Become 1.
But will
they use the hard hitting album tracks such as Naked and Something Kinda Funny
from the debut album? They were fan favourites on the early tours and surely
lend themselves to a story on the stage.
Popular
favourites from Spice are Last Time Lover and Love thing.
From Spiceworld we
hope Spice Up Your Life and Too Much are included. Also our favourites with a
celebrity theme would be the cool Denying, Headlines and Saturday Night Divas.
The first
two albums seem ideal for the musical but will they include the Forever album?
Of course I feel the main theme to the Spice Girls musical will be the massive
hit Viva Forever!
So what’s
the story?
From the award-winning writer and comedienne Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous, French
& Saunders), and Judy Craymer, producer of the
worldwide smash-hit musical MAMMA MIA!, comes VIVA FOREVER!, a wonderfully joyous contemporary musical about
the value of friendship in the face of fame and fortune!
As one girl follows her dreams, VIVA FOREVER! charts her journey into the world of overnight celebrity and its impact on her mother, and the friends she thought she’d have forever. From London to Spain and back again, as the world judges you, it’s all about who you really are and who you want to be, whatever the cost.
Spice up your life with this exhilarating and irresistibly funny tale of love, loyalty and romance. An original story of our times, inspired by the songs of the Spice Girls, VIVA FOREVER! hits all the high notes for a fabulous feel-good night out.
