Ex-Spice Girl Melanie Brown not daunted by Broadway
NEW YORK — Most women in their 40s facing the prospect of singing and dancing on Broadway eight times a week might ask to shorten their high heels just a smidge. Melanie Brown wants hers taller. No wonder they call her Scary Spice.
“If you’re into high heels, you want them the higher the better,” Brown said as she prepares to join the cast of “Chicago” playing the murderous Roxie Hart.
Doesn’t it matter that it’s a very physical role and that she’ll appear for her first song on a ladder 15 feet in the air?
