Today Magic Mike Live has announced plans for its return to the West End from May 2021 with socially distanced performances in the heart of the West End. It joins a flood of exciting theatre news announced on the tail end of the PM’s roadmap plan for theatres and cinema revealed last week. 

The piece which was co-produced by Channing Tatum and based on the hit film, will be reimagined to make it “safe for the cast, crew and the audience”. Magic Mike Live is co-directed by Tatum and Alison Faulk, with Luke Broadlick as associate director, and choreography by Alison Faulk, Teresa Espinosa and Luke Broadlick. 

Executive Producer Vincent Marini said: “The team behind Magic Mike Live has been enthusiastically planning the show's return to the London stage. We have been working to develop a show that prioritises the safety of our employees and guests but also manages to be as fun, electric and unexpected as ever. While it has been a creative challenge to make changes to the show we all love so much, we believe that the finished product, which has already been successfully launched in Sydney, will bring a great deal of joy to London at a time when it is sorely needed. We're going to make the show's return to the Hippodrome – after 14 long months away – absolutely epic."

The production team have also said that spectators will be able to rebook or refund their tickets “if they cannot attend the show for any reason, even on the day of the performance”, to maximise flexibility. 

The show is currently running from 21 May to 1 August 2021. You can book your tickets here.
