"I loved what the Spice Girls did for women's confidence," the musical's producer, Judy Craymer, gushed. "There's something very empowering about them." And the writer, Jennifer Saunders, couldn't agree more. "The second I knew this project was up for grabs, I rang my agent and said I had to be involved."
Viva Forever opens for previews on Nov. 27 and debuts on Dec. 11 at London's Piccadilly Theatre.
