According to a report in the Daily Mail, this means that Ghost, the show currently playing there, will shutter in the fall. Viva Forever is expected to feature approximately 16 numbers associated with the Spice Girls line-up Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown, respectively Ginger, Baby, Posh, Sporty and Scary. The song stack featured will include "Wannabe," "The Lady Is A Vamp," "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Mamma." According to the Mail report, the show has a mother and daughter story at its heart, with a television talent show as a backdrop.
Produced by Judy Craymer (who was behind the global smash of Mamma Mia!), it will be directed by Paul Garrington, with Lynn Page as choreographer, Peter Mackintosh as designer and Martin Koch as orchestrator.
No casting is available yet. Auditions are expected to begin this month.
