Magic Mike Live is heading to arenas around the UK starting in May 2020.
Marking the first time the show has been staged outside of an intimate, cabaret-style space, The Arena Tour will open Belfast on 6th May, followed by Glasgow, Aberdeen, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle, Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester and finishing in Liverpool.
Following two hugely successful films starring Channing Tatum and the hitĀ LiveĀ show at the Theatre at the Hippodrome Casino in London, the showās producers and creative team felt it was time to develop a newĀ Magic MikeĀ production to bring to people in other parts of the UK to celebrate the rebirth of live entertainment.
Magic Mike Live Co-Director Alison Faulk said,Ā āThis is not ‘Magic Mike Live’ with more seats. Our arena tour is something totally different. After a year of isolation and frustration, we want to give women something that makes them feel alive againā¦ a sort of celebratory revival that makes them want to stand on their chairs, dance with their friends and feel connected to each other. The show is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of togetherness, sexuality and freedom that only an arena can hold. We want our guys to give our fans the best night of their lives with a party theyāll never forget.ā
