Viva Forever! Undergoes revamp
MUCH-ANTICIPATED Spice Girls musical Viva Forever! didn’t exactly dazzle the critics and now one of the its stars has revealed that the show has undergone something of a revamp.
Lucy Phelps, who plays Diamond, says of the musical, a collaboration between Mamma Mia! u?ber-producer Judy Craymer and comedian Jennifer Saunders: “It is like a new show, it’s a lot bolder and a lot brighter,” says the 25-year-old.
“It’s more of a spectacle. It’s a lot more physically demanding. It drives at a faster pace. It’s exhilarating in a slightly different way than it was before.”
A spokesperson for Viva Forever! told Day & Night: “The show has evolved, had a bit of a polish. More choreography has been added – now the production has settled and bedded in, they have responded to what the audience enjoyed.”
