"Melanie C has revealed that she &amp;quot;laughed and cried&amp;quot; with her Spice Girls bandmates when watching a rehearsal of their upcoming musical.  The singer admitted that the group were &amp;quot;nervous&amp;quot; to hear the first draft of the show but the result was &amp;quot;better than [they] could have hoped for&amp;quot;.  She told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re casting the final roles at the moment. It&amp;#039;s completely amazing!  &amp;quot;We were all really nervous when Jennifer [Saunders] read through the first draft and then we saw a recording of the workshops for act one and act two. I was so nervous because you think, &amp;#039;Please, please be good!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;Thankfully we laughed and we cried - it was better than we ever could have hoped for. Obviously there&amp;#039;s interest because it&amp;#039;s the Spice Girls, but there is genuinely a brilliant story to back it up.&amp;quot; Asked if it was awkward meeting her bandmates at the musical&amp;#039;s recent launch event, she explained: &amp;quot;We do see each other individually or in groups here and there.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re always a bit nervous and apprehensive about it but after we&amp;#039;ve said hello the awkwardness quickly passes! It&amp;#039;s great though - every time we see each other we always ask why we don&amp;#039;t do it more.&amp;quot;  The star recently teased that her duet with Emma Bunton on her upcoming album Stages was &amp;quot;so Spice Girls&amp;quot;.  Listen to their collaboration on &amp;#039;I Know Him So Well&amp;#039; below:   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
