A show for women to go to? Yes...but I hope he expects an equal amount of gay men, and incorporates that into the show as well.
And let there be on-stage seating!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:21pmLOL. I guess I just don't understand the hate for this since it was actually a pretty damn good movie.

Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:27pmI thought the movie sucked. It was sexy, but it sucked.
#10MAGIC MIKE Will Be Coming On Broadway
Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:28pmWell obviously you're entitled to your opinion, but it's not in the majority. The film holds an 80% over at Rotten Tomatoes and got great reviews.

Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:30pmI agree, my opinion is the minority. Most people loved it. I just happened to think it was stupid.
#12MAGIC MIKE Will Be Coming On Broadway
Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:35pmSo this is just going to be Broadway Bares... but with even less women in it?

Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:38pmI, too, didn't care for the movie. I didn't mind it. A strong, mediocre piece. With the heavy amount of "sex appeal" in the marketing, I think critics were surprised that it wasn't just another one of "those" movies... hence the higher ratings.

Posted: 2/3/13 at 3:57pmI have a feeling they're going to try to make it a serious musical, like the movie was a serious movie and just like that, I think it will upset some people who are hoping for just 2 hours with no plot and men stripping (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

^^ I agree.
If it was no plot and just men stripping, I would probably try to see it at least once a month. But if it is more like the movie, for me it will be one and done.
#16MAGIC MIKE Will Be Coming On Broadway
Posted: 2/3/13 at 4:14pmI actually liked the movie. I didn't like the strip scenes. I thought they were too cheesy and not sexy. I didn't understand why the guys couldn't just dance a little and get naked like female strippers do, but it was explained to me that women, unlike straight men, like a "story" with their strip tease. They want a man in uniform or Tarzan or some other fantasy. I guess I can understand that to a degree, but with it being turned into a musical I feel like that will add another layer of cheese and I wonder if it will be possible at that point to treat it as a serious musical.

Posted: 2/3/13 at 4:18pmI hope the other layer of cheese is mozzerella.

Posted: 2/3/13 at 4:34pmI guess Dick Cheese would be a bad male stripper name, right?

Posted: 2/3/13 at 4:44pmAs much as I love cheese, I don't want a cheesedick. I'll have a cheesestick, but not a cheesedick. Regular dick is fine.

Posted: 2/3/13 at 5:01pmUgh, I did not like the movie. It was like Requiem for a Dream with male strippers.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
