Victoria Beckham Delays Spice Girls Musical

According to the Daily Mail Victoria Beckham’s fashion career is taking precedence over the new Spice Girls musical Viva Forever which is being produced by Judy Craymer and written by Jennifer Saunders. Other projects included performances at the Olympics opening ceremony and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert with a big budget TV show also on the cards.

The plan was for Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown to lead a nationwide search to find the main characters for their West End show in a format similar to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s talent searches.

But plans have now been shelved as Victoria refuses to rejoin the band for new projects because she feels she is finally being taken seriously as a fashion designer and doesn’t want to jeopardise her new career.

Mel B is believed to be keen to push ahead with the TV show with a source telling the Mail: “Mel B is desperate for this show to happen. All the other girls would consider it, but Victoria has made her feelings very clear. Other than attending the world premiere of the musical, she wants to focus on her fashion career. She would be fine with the other four going ahead without her, but Emma doesn’t believe that’s the right thing to do.” Baby Spice Emma Bunton insists that the show doesn’t happen unless all five Spice Girls are involved.
