HAHAHAHA oh man. If I was still in elementary school I would be jumping and screaming in excitement right about now, but I don't know what to think about this.

Eh. It's nothing more than I show I probably won't see. I sincerely doubt that it's appearance will simply cause the cease of any theatrical production in the world for the rest of eternity.

The Theatre is Still Not Dead. In Other News, Melodramatic Hyperbole is Rampant Amongst Show Queens.

If anyone other than Emma Zaks is playing Baby Spice, I'm not goin'.


OK, no matter who's in it, I'm not goin'.

Gobstopper, I am totally calling you out! If you're stoked about a Spice Girls musical, then a Carrie revival sounds perfectly reasonable. Now, a Spice Girls ballet, on the other hand...

Hey now, at least *this* show isn't ALREADY the biggest flop in history.

At any rate, I have no delusions that this show will actually be good. It will most likely be dreadful. That said, let us 90's kids have our fun until it is actually made.

Btw The Sun is not really revered as the most credible source, is it? We'll see if this actually happens...

UPDATE! It turns out that they picked a West End opening date and a name for the show. I wish the show much success. :)

As one who was a child in the 90's I fully support this! Especially if it's going to be as campy as the movie.
