Channing Tatum confirms that Magic Mike Live is definitely going to be a real thing

I'm not hyperventilating, YOU ARE...

Magic Mike has to be one of the best films ever.

It had banging tunes, hilarious jokes, hot bodies, endearing bromance and most importantly – sound lads. What else could you want from a film?

Who could forget this absolutely iconic scene?

I clearly remember watching Magic Mike and it’s sensational sequel Magic Mike XXL and thinking ‘if ONLY this was a real thing???’

Well, the telepathic bond that Channing Tatum I share (because we’re absolutely deeply in love) is clearly real and he has answered my thoughts  – maybe yours too.

Tatum has revealed that Magic Mike Live show is coming to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, with a launch promised in March 2017.

The show will bring to life the idea at the heart of the Magic Mike movies: male entertainers that are there to please the women.

Tatum confirmed to Cosmopolitan:

“We want to create a place for women that is their gentlemen’s club, their Playboy club. It shouldn’t be sleazy. [You shouldn’t feel] nervous to go there because you feel unsafe; we want to create the polar opposite of that.”

Channing will direct the show and Alison Faulk and Teresa Espinosa, who worked on both Magic Mike movies, will choreograph the routines.

I don’t know about you but I’m currently saying the rosary that they bring the show to Dublin. *cries*
