Is Broadway big enough for Cher and Spice Girls musicals to co-exist?

While I am excited for this, it just sounds like a re-hashed version of MAMMA-MIA! with and actual plot.

This is the stuff my dreams are made of.

I'm dying.

Though the theatre snob in me is appalled. My gay inner child is so excited for this!

This sounds like fun. However, it strikes me as a show that will be a smash in London and shutter quickly in NY.

Is this Jennifer's first book for a musical? I thinks she is an amazing comedian!

I think the only good thing about this is going to be the book because it's written by Jennifer Saunders. I'd much rather her write something else with her brilliance, but I digress.

Jennifer Saunders... this could either be entirely tedious, or spectacularly amazing.

The logo, however, is fantastic!

The only thing that excites me is that Jennifer Saunders is involved. However, the Spice Girls HATE each other - check out Mel B's reaction to Victoria in this clip - leaves me cold! They're only doing it for the money.

I don't see this lasting long at all if transfers here. I don't even know one other song of theirs other then that one hit.

Have they even mentioned a NY transfer?

"However, the Spice Girls HATE each other - check out Mel B's reaction to Victoria in this clip - leaves me cold! They're only doing it for the money. "

How much money will they get? I know they're involved (on some level, even if it's just promo), but the Girls have pretty rare credit on any of the songs.

EricMontreal... scanning their wiki page, it does appear they do share at least some credit for their catalog, most notably "Wannabe". Of course, they only had 3 albums... if you really wanna include the Americanized R&B Spice Girls disaster.


What Jennifer Saunders should have musicalized.

Well, the Spice Girls or members of the Spice Girls have a writing or co-writing credit on everything on the Greatest Hits album. They'll be paid for anything that's used in this musical.

As a kid of the 90s, I can hardly wait for this. The Spice Girls were some of my first exposure to pop music. I feel like this is my Mamma Mia.

Were you not around in the 90s? I am a child of the 90s, and I can sing you parts of every one of their singles, and many of their non-singles.
