It was announced today that a musical based on the music of the Spice Girls will be coming to London’s West End later this year.

Variety reports on the storyline which will be carried by strictly Spice Girls music:

Written by Jennifer Saunders (“Absolutely Fabulous”), the tuner is neither a bio-drama nor a tribute show. Instead it follows a girl and her best friends being swept up by TV celebrity culture via a talent show into overnight fame and back again. Like “Mamma Mia,” which plays to largely female auds, “Viva Forever” also focuses on a mother-daughter relationship.

Viva Forever will live at the Piccadilly Theater from December 11.

Will Spice Girls fans be interested in a musical featuring their music performed live (without all our favorite Spice ladies)?
