Don’t worry, fans of fine musical theater. The booty shakin’, meat-gazin’ stage adaptation of Magic Mike is still in the works. According to Entertainment Weekly, the 2012 smash hit starring Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, and ageless vampire Matthew McConaughey will apparently still have a stage version ready for the great white way:
“It is still in the works,” Tatum admits. “We’re getting it going. Oddly enough, the second one lends itself more to the musical. I think our original idea was to do a prequel, like how Mike got in.”
The Broadway spectacle will be written by Tatum, director Steven Soderbergh, and Reid Carolin. I’m sure this adaptation will be a plot-driven masterpiece that will change the way the world views musical theater, or just a bunch of carb-deprived dudes ding-dong dancing for them DOLLA$$$.
