Are you ready for the Spice Girls reunion version 2.0?

Since ‘Wannabe’ launched onto the airwaves back in 1996 and the phrase ‘zig-a-zig-ah’ forever entered popular culture, the Spice Girls have rarely been out of the worldwide media. The British tabloids have diligently reported on all aspects of their lives, be it marriages, divorces, babies or solo album flops- (of which there have been many, between the girls they have released a whopping 13 solo albums). After a lucrative comeback in 2007/8, which saw the group release a greatest hits album and perform music concerts across the US, the girls are now apparently in talks to develop a West End musical about their rapid rise to fame. Details are sketchy at this point but all the girls have been papped together in London recently and are apparently all in support of the idea. If it were to happen, who could resist a Spicey night of London theatre, bopping along to ‘Say you’ll be there’ and other such Spice Girl staples.
