Viva Forever, a musical based on the works of the Spice Girls in London’s West End, was cancelled. Judging by that photo it looks like it was basically just a group of women dressed as Spice Girls singing Spice Girls songs, and it probably was, but now I’LL NEVER KNOW. It opened only last December. Mamma Mia it is not.
Emma Bunton/Baby Spice tweeted (via EOnline), “I am totally gutted that our wonderful show @vivaforever is coming to an end. Thank you to all our amazing fans for your constant support!”
Geri Halliwell/Ginger managed to put her truth or dare game with Mel B/Scary on hold to tweet “We love u all @vivaforever @emmabunton @MelanieCmusic @OfficialMelB @victoriabeckham #what a shocka , gutted .x”
Mel C/Sporty tweeted “Absolutely devastated our wonderful show is closing. Thank you to our brilliant cast and everybody who made the show so incredible.” that Mel B retweeted.
Victoria Beckham/Posh tweeted nothing because she’s Victoria Beckham. Or because she’s ~~too busy being a working mum~~.
All this tweeting makes me realize even more that journalists can quite easily become obsolete. No one releases real statements anymore. Unless it’s an “I was drunk and I’m sorry” statement that needs more than 140 characters.
In conclusion, slam your body down a-zig-ah-zag-ah. (What’s YOUR favorite Spice song?)
For the record, despite this being co-written by Jennifer Saunders, it just never worked. Their idea of using untrained actors failed to create the “authentic” air they were going for and just looked shoddy. The whole thing was an absolute mess. That being said, it’s a shame I won’t to the West End to see it before it closes (I think it’s on til June).
(I’M SO SORRY FOR WRITING A SERIOUS RESPONSE TO THIS!)
The only thing that surprised me about this story was the fact that the writer didn’t know there was already a story about the Spice Girls musical on this website already written back when it first came out.
