Magic Mike Movie Inspires Highly Anticipated Broadway Musical, Produced By Channing Tatum And Reid Carolin, An Exciting Night Out At A Club With A Captivating Story For Women To Enjoy
Magic Mike Movie Heads to Broadway as Musical
The Next to Normal team of Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (who also wrote the new Broadway-bound musical If/Then) will team up with Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark scribe Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to adapt the recent film Magic Mike into a Broadway musical. Magic Mike director Steven Soderbergh and star Channing Tatum will serve as producers on the musical. The popular 2012 movie, which co-starred Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer, was inspired by Tatum's experience as a male stripper.
Another of the show's producers, Reid Carolin, previously spoke to USA Today about the Magic Mike musical, saying, "We are working on it as a Broadway show, which would be a different story, more of a romp, more of a fun night out at a club with a story. I'm almost more excited about that than the movie because I think it's the perfect thing for women to go see on Broadway, to be participants in the show."
