Nothing—even a West End production—lasts forever. But friendship never ends!

Keep that in mind, Spice Girls fans, because Viva Forever, the musical inspired by Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C and Geri Halliwell's '90s success, is closing. And all the ladies (except for Posh, naturally) took to Twitter to mourn the short-lived show, which only opened this past December.

"I am totally gutted that our wonderful show @vivaforever is coming to an end," Emma, aka Baby Spice, tweeted Thursday. "Thank you to all our amazing fans for your constant support!"

Geri, otherwise known as Ginger Spice, wrote: "We love u all @vivaforever @emmabunton @MelanieCmusic @OfficialMelB @victoriabeckham #what a shocka , gutted .x"

Mel C (you remember her as Sporty Spice) tweeted (and was retweeted by Scary Spice/Mel B): " Absolutely devastated our wonderful show is closing. Thank you to our brilliant cast and everybody who made the show so incredible."

If you wannabe one of the lucky ones to catch Viva Forever before the final curtain call, tickets are available through June 29.
