The Spice Girls gave fans what they want -- what they really, really want -- Tuesday, reuniting onstage to announce the details of a musical based on their songs.
Producers stress that the stage show "Viva Forever" isn't a biography of the band, but there are plenty of real-life resonances for the 1990s "Girl Power" group in its tale of female empowerment and friendship tested by fame. The show opens in London in December.
"We're going to be introducing a whole new generation to `Girl Power,"' said Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, who attended a media launch alongside Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown -- also known as Baby, Ginger, Sporty and Scary Spice.
