After thrilling nearly two million guests worldwide, MAGIC MIKE LIVE will bring an all-new flagship production to New York City this Autumn.
Created and directed by Channing Tatum, the global stage sensation begins performances on 8 October in a newly renovated, multi-function and custom-built venue one block from Times Square (268 W. 47th St). MAGIC MIKE LIVE New York is designed to fuse hospitality, nightlife, and live entertainment with one seamless night out, delivering the show’s core spirit of confidence, celebration, and empowerment alongside world-class talent and an atmosphere built for an unforgettable evening that will keep the city that never sleeps dancing all night long.
Channing Tatum said: “This all started as a crazy idea 10 years ago and look at it now. When we were coming up with the concept for our original show, we first came to the streets of New York City where I hid in a secret confession booth we set up in Midtown and asked women what they really want. Not just in a show, but in life. They shared some deeply powerful things. That insight helped us create our shows in Vegas, London and all over the world. With 10 years of experience and surrounding ourselves with a team of strong and creative women, we’re now coming back to where it all started in New York.”
Joining long-running residencies in Las Vegas and London, MAGIC MIKE LIVE New York is a next-level, 360-degree live experience inspired by the hit films. The audience is in the middle of it all as the cast performs onstage, overhead, and throughout the room, blurring the line between the stage and the audience. Over 90 minutes, MAGIC MIKE LIVE delivers world-class dance, athleticism, and acrobatics, layered with music and comedy, grounded in a message of confidence, celebration, and empowerment. It’s made for the ultimate girls’ night out, big celebrations, or a date night that keeps the party going long after the music ends.
Accompanying the bespoke performance venue are two lounges on the second floor, directly adjacent to MAGIC MIKE LIVE and steps from Times Square. Greenlight will soon become Manhattan’s newest destination for cocktails, dining, and late-night energy. Designed as a lived-in loft space that feels stylish, welcoming, and alive with movement and conversation, Greenlight gives you the go-ahead to settle in and make the space your own for the night. Created in collaboration with the legendary team at Authentic Hospitality, the group behind Pebble Bar, Jac’s on Bond, and Ray’s, Greenlight will feature bold, camera-ready cocktails, a crave-worthy menu, and whimsical large-batch and tableside bar cart moments. Greenlight will be open nightly for pre- and post-show revelry to welcome everyone, whether you are seeing MAGIC MIKE LIVE or simply looking for a standout night out in Midtown.
Authentic Hospitality is also partnering with Channing Tatum on a smaller, more intimate lounge, curated by Tatum himself. The space is one-of-a-kind hideaway within the venue that will offer a more personal, elevated atmosphere with a focused cocktail program and a curated vibe that rewards curiosity, whether you start your night there or make it your post-show stop. It’s the kind of place where, if you know, you know.
The New York cast of MAGIC MIKE LIVE will be led by Sebastian Melo Taivera as Mike, with an ensemble that includes Charles Bartley, Kayla Brenda, Nate Bryan, Daniel Blessing, John Carlos Cabrera, Jayson Collantes, Shane Davis, Alexandre Deakin, Sebastian Gonzalez, Jhan Mena, Casey Sheehan, Ellena Takos, Marcus Vrondas, and Josh Williams. Additional casting is to be announced.
