MAGIC MIKE Will Be Coming On Broadway

[Jordan Catalano]

Glad This Is Still Happening!

Ow god, let's hope this musical isn't going to be as bad as the movie..

[CapnHook]

A show for women to go to? Yes...but I hope he expects an equal amount of gay men, and incorporates that into the show as well.

And let there be on-stage seating!

[little_sally]

I'd be surprised if Cheyenne Jackson isn't involved.

"...to be participants in the show." Just imagine the fangirls/boys for this one! No one will ask about the show curtains, but only about which seats give you the most action!

[lupone76]

NOOOOOO!! Please NO!!!!

[TheGingerBreadMan]

Imma seriously punch someone in the face.

[Jordan Catalano]

LOL. I guess I just don't understand the hate for this since it was actually a pretty damn good movie.

[TheGingerBreadMan]

I thought the movie sucked. It was sexy, but it sucked.

[Jordan Catalano]

Well obviously you're entitled to your opinion, but it's not in the majority. The film holds an 80% over at Rotten Tomatoes and got great reviews.

[TheGingerBreadMan]

I agree, my opinion is the minority. Most people loved it. I just happened to think it was stupid.

[Kad]

So this is just going to be Broadway Bares... but with even less women in it?

[CapnHook]

I, too, didn't care for the movie. I didn't mind it. A strong, mediocre piece. With the heavy amount of "sex appeal" in the marketing, I think critics were surprised that it wasn't just another one of "those" movies... hence the higher ratings.

[Jordan Catalano]

I have a feeling they're going to try to make it a serious musical, like the movie was a serious movie and just like that, I think it will upset some people who are hoping for just 2 hours with no plot and men stripping (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

[TheGingerBreadMan]

^^ I agree.

If it was no plot and just men stripping, I would probably try to see it at least once a month. But if it is more like the movie, for me it will be one and done.

[CATSNYrevival]

I actually liked the movie. I didn't like the strip scenes. I thought they were too cheesy and not sexy. I didn't understand why the guys couldn't just dance a little and get naked like female strippers do, but it was explained to me that women, unlike straight men, like a "story" with their strip tease. They want a man in uniform or Tarzan or some other fantasy. I guess I can understand that to a degree, but with it being turned into a musical I feel like that will add another layer of cheese and I wonder if it will be possible at that point to treat it as a serious musical.

[TheGingerBreadMan]

I hope the other layer of cheese is mozzerella.

[Jordan Catalano]

I guess Dick Cheese would be a bad male stripper name, right?

[TheGingerBreadMan]

As much as I love cheese, I don't want a cheesedick. I'll have a cheesestick, but not a cheesedick. Regular dick is fine.

[Deena Jones]

Nice title!

[TheGingerBreadMan]

^^
Ya, lol. I was wondering if the title was pun-intended or not.

[SporkGoddess]

Ugh, I did not like the movie. It was like Requiem for a Dream with male strippers.

[Jordan Catalano]

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM would make an amazing opera.

[TheGingerBreadMan]

^
Agreed.

[Broadway Joe]

I try to see every show(not all the special concerts) that opens up on Broadway but ugh I really have no interest in seeing this. My girlfriend will probably be trying to get me to go though hah
