London, October 15: English pop girl group band Spice Girls have reunited to turn their life story into a stage show extravaganza, according to a new report.
The former members Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C, sparked rumours of a second reunion, following their 2007 comeback tour, after four of them were spotted dining out together in London.
Mel B subsequently fuelled speculation by revealing the girls were indeed working together again, but refused to give any details about their new project.
However, Daily Mirror reports the five-piece is in talks to bring the story of its success to the stage in a major musical production.
“The project is Geri (Halliwell)’s baby really, but all the girls are backing it. The idea is for five relatively unknown actresses to take the parts and hopefully the girls will each have a say in who is cast,” said a source.
The Spice Girls shot to international fame in 1996 and went on to sell more than 65 million records worldwide. Halliwell quit the group in 1998 and the band split two years later. They reformed in 2007 for a world tour which ended in Canada in February last year.
