Magic Mike Live is on its way to New York City.

Created and directed by the original Magic Mike film's star Channing Tatum, the production will begin performances October 8 in a custom-built venue at 268 W. 47th Street. Opening night is set for October 22.

“This all started as a crazy idea 10 years ago and look at it now,” shares Tatum. “When we were coming up with the concept for our original show, we first came to the streets of New York City where I hid in a secret confession booth we set up in Midtown and asked women what they really want. Not just in a show, but in life. They shared some deeply powerful things. That insight helped us create our shows in Vegas, London, and all over the world. With 10 years of experience and surrounding ourselves with a team of strong and creative women, we’re now coming back to where it all started in New York.”

Magic Mike Live aims to be NYC's "ultimate girls' night out," with a 90-minute show inspired by the hit film franchise featuring dance, muscles, acrobatics, and more.

The New York cast will be led by Sebastian Melo Taivera as Mike, with an ensemble that includes Charles Bartley, Kayla Brenda, Nate Bryan, Daniel Blessing, John Carlos Cabrera, Jayson Collantes, Shane Davis, Alexandre Deakin, Sebastian Gonzalez, Jhan Mena, Casey Sheehan, Ellena Takos, Marcus Vrondas, and Josh Williams. Additional casting, by Katie Zanca Spalding, will be announced at a later date.

The New York production of Magic Mike Live is co-directed and choreographed by Emmy-nominated choreographer Alison Faulk with choreographer and associate director Luke Broadlick, music supervision and composition by Jack Rayner, production design by Rachel O’Toole, scenic design by Rob Bissinger and Anita La Scala, costume direction by Marina Toybina, aerial choreography by Dreya Weber, lighting design by Philip Gladwell, sound design by Nick Kourtides, production supervision by Don Gilmore, and general management by Alchemy Production Group.

The show is being produced by Free Association Live in association with Bruce Robert Harris, Alan Shorr, Richard Winkler, Howard Kagan, Nick Padgett, Jessica Jenen, and the late Jack W. Batman. Vincent Marini serves as executive producer.
