Audition For Broadway-Bound MAGIC MIKE THE MUSICAL

Producers of the Broadway-bound Magic Mike The Musical announced today that they are accepting audition videos for a diverse cast of leading men in the show which premieres in Boston this fall - and requires a unique set of talents! The show's director Trip Cullman said, "When Channing Tatum and his co- stars first appeared on the screen, it was unlike anything anyone had ever seen - and we are looking for actors who can surprise and dazzle us in that same unprecedented way. We are especially open to men of any race, ethnicity or creed as long as they are that elusive unicorn who can act, dance and sing brilliantly. So that should be easy!"

Set before the hit movies Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL, this original stage production tells the story of college-student-turned-male-entertainer Mike Lane. Struggling to make ends meet, Mike takes a job dancing at an exclusive night club... and winds up loving every minute of it. But as he scrambles to hide his alter ego from his dad and girlfriend, he finds himself needing to make some difficult choices. Can Mike follow his dreams without losing more than his clothes?

Nina Essman and Marcia Goldberg are the Executive Producers of Magic Mike The Musical. The production's General Manager is 321 Theatrical Management.

The Magic Mike phenomenon began with the release of the movie, Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which opened to critical and popular success in 2012. A second film, Magic Mike XXL, directed by Gregory Jacobs, was released in 2015; the two films combined made almost $300 million. Magic Mike Live launched in Las Vegas in 2017 and opened in London last year; combined they have sold $36.5 million in tickets. The total number of ticket sales in the Magic Mike universe is currently over $335 million. Magic Mike The Musical is an entirely new theatre production that tells the story leading up to the first Magic Mike movie.
