Return of The Spice Girls - Show

Show

The show begins with a video introduction of five young girls playing inside a house when they find a magic box. When they open it fireworks appear, the five girls all wish to become pop stars when they grow up, then an instrumental of "Spice Up Your Life" begins as various music videos and press headlines about the Spice Girls are shown, as the video ends the Spice Girls enter the stage on five platforms and perform "Spice Up Your Life" they then perform a mashup of their 1998 hit "Stop" and "It's Like That" by Jason Nevins and Run-DMC the track that famously made "Stop" their only UK single not to reach #1 at that time. After the girls introduce themselves at the end of the second song they perform "Say You'll Be There" remixed with "If You Need A Fix" by Blackstreet. Their reunion single "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" is the last song in the first act.

The second act begins with a Jazz theme for "The Lady Is A Vamp" having a showgirl style performance. An up-tempo Jazz version of their 1997 Christmas Number One "Too Much" is performed inside a pink dressing booth. Before the song a pre-recording is played of the girls exchanging clothes. "2 Become 1" is performed next while the girls dance around pink and white poles.

The third act begins with a video of falling money and the titles Baby, Posh, Sporty, Scary and Ginger appear on the screen with their signature themes. Halliwell then enters the stage wearing a sequin Union Jack dress, while Bunton wears a small pink coat, and Chisholm appears wearing a sports track suit. Beckham then appears wearing a little black lace dress, while Brown wears her trademark leopard print catsuit. The song symbolises the height of the Spice Girls in their heyday. Beckham is then left on stage giving a Catwalk / Runway dance to a remix of "Like a Virgin" by Madonna and "Supermodel (You Better Work)" by Ru Paul. Brown then performs solo, taking a male member of the audience and subsequently chains him to a ladder as she performs a cover of "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz. Bunton gives a 1960's inspired performance of her 2004 hit "Maybe".

Following a cape dance interlude, "Viva Forever" is performed with a Latin theme and tango/fan dance break, the song ends with Halliwell exiting the stage early, acknowledging her leaving the band in 1998. "Holler" is then performed by the four remaining members, with a dominatrix theme similar to the video of the song. Halliwell then returns solo to perform her Number One single "It's Raining Men", followed by Chisholm who performs her biggest solo Number One single, "I Turn to You".

Brown, Chisholm, Bunton, and Beckham then perform "Let Love Lead The Way" dressed in white and silver. Halliwell returns from under the stage at the end of the song. The five girls come together holding hands and walk to the center stage, raising their hands to signify the reunion as a 5 piece and their bond. They then perform "Mama" with personal photographs of themselves with their Mother's and Children. This is then followed by the "Celebration Medley", a mash-up of "Celebration", "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)", That's The Way (I Like It)", and "We Are Family. The Girls then perform their 1998 Christmas Number One "Goodbye".

The Encore begins with a Humpty Dance interlude by the dancers as it segues into "If U Cant Dance" with the girls wearing a different coloured robe. The girls then take off their robes to reveal glittery outfits: Brown in gold, Halliwell in blue, Chisholm in orange, Beckham in green, and Bunton in pink. They then perform their biggest hit and debut single "Wannabe". Finally they perform a heavily remixed version of "Spice Up Your Life" – replacing the last line of the song with "Hi Si Ja – Goodnight!" The girls then disappear underneath the stage and the show ends with the slogan "SPICE – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"
