Spice Girls Cash In

• 27th Jun 2012

Girl-power peddling pop stars The Spice Girls are set to make an estimated £5 million each from their Viva Forever! musical.

Each member, as well as managed Simon Fuller, has invested in the West End theatre show, which launches in London at the end of this year.

'If we can fly the flag for Britain, we'd love that – to do a Mamma Mia! It would be nice if it made us a few quid too!' Mel C, formerly known as Sporty Spice, told British newspaper The Mirror.

The musical tells the story of a young girl trying to deal with finding fame on a reality TV show while staying true to her roots and is based around the 5 pieces biggest hits.

The five stars also revealed that plans for a spin-off movie, a Broadway theatre production and CD compilations are in the pipeline.

'London is a great starting point. We're all so proud to be British. We're hopeful this will be the start of something big,' Victoria said.

Viva Forever! is set to open at London's Piccadilly Theatre on December 11.
