Channing Tatum is partnering with Cosmopolitan.com to produce The Magic Mike Live Show, which will make its debut in Las Vegas next year.

Channing Tatum ‘Magic Mike Live’

Tatum announced the Magic Mike Live news in a video on Cosmopolitan.com’s YouTube page Wednesday. In his house, surrounded by puppies and shirtless men, Tatum dropped the news that the Magic Mike movies would be getting the Las Vegas stage treatment.

“I was walking around my house filled with hot men that I live with every day [and] I was thinking, ‘What’s the next step for Magic Mike? Virtual reality?'” Tatum says in the video. “That’s when Justin Timberlake in Social Network popped into my mind. He goes, ‘What if you just dropped the virtual? Magic Mike reality!'”

“What if we lived in a world where women were given the same options that men have been given for centuries?” Tatum asks. “And that’s when my brain morphed into Kevin Costner from Field of Dreams and you now what he said, ‘If you build it, they will come.'”

Tatum added, “God knows, we have enough gentlemen’s clubs in this world. So let’s start the first, gentle ladies club. Or maybe not so gentle – depends what you’re in to.”

Will Tatum be making an appearance in The Magic Mike Live Show? He’s not ruling it out. “If I’m ever in shape enough to do that again, I’ll absolutely go out and have a fun night or two,” he told Cosmo.

The Magic Mike Live Show will open at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas in March 2017.
