Spice Girls Musical 'Viva Forever' Coming November 2010?

September saw talk of new plans for a Spice Girls reunion. Both Mel B and Geri Halliwell hinted at something big occurring but wouldn’t divulge details. Whatever it was, Victoria Beckham didn’t seem to be in on it. It then looked like being connected to the London 2012 Olympics but the new suggestion is even harder to swallow.

According to The Sun, a musical based on the Spice Girls is being developed. The newspaper claims the show will be called Viva Forever, is being penned by Kim Fuller, brother of former manager Simon Fuller, includes 14 of their hit records, and will be ready to hit the West End of London on Nov. 5, 2010.

The musical will supposedly tell the rags-to-riches story of the five Spice Girls, and if successful in London will be rolled out to Broadway and beyond.

If true, which isn’t definite at this point, then God help us. I just can’t help feeling the girls are flogging a dead horse here. The Spice Girls are dead and buried and that’s where they should belong. They’re hardly Abba or Queen now, are they, and clearly don’t deserve their own musical.
