Spice Girls Announce 'Viva Forever' Musical

Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham reunite on stage to launch a new Spice Girls musical on Tuesday (June 26) in London, England.

The girl group made the announcement at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel where the video for their 1996 No. 1 hit “Wannabe” was filmed.

Viva Forever will feature Spice Girls music while telling “the story of four friends whose bond is tested when their band enters a TV talent show,” the Associated Press reports.

“It’s better than we could ever have imagined,” Mel C said, while Mel B explained the cast “sing[s] it better than us.”

Previews for Viva Forever start November 27 with a December 11 opening at London’s Piccadilly Theatre.
