Get ready for the must-see (and will-see) event of a lifetime, because MAGIC MIKE is taking over a new kind of stage... and you can get the very first peek.
You read that right: the outrageous new musical MAGIC MIKE is making its world premiere at the Emerson Colonial Theatre before heading to Broadway. A prequel to the hit movies "Magic Mike" and "Magic Mike XXL", this sizzling stage spectacle tells the story of how the world's favorite stripping sensation first found his mojo.
MAGIC MIKE features direction by Trip Cullman (Choir Boy), a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ("Riverdale"), an original score by Tony and Pulitzer Prize winners Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal), and electrifying choreography by Camille A. Brown (Once On This Island). Brought to life by a flawless company of mind-blowingly talented performers, it's wildly fun, ridiculously sexy... and pretty much the reason live theater was invented.
