The films director Stephen Soderberg and star Channing Tatum will serve as producers. A sequel to the film is also in the works but it is unlikely to have Soderberg at the helm, he’s announced that ‘Behind the Candelabra’, which is current screening in Australian cinemas, would be his last film.

‘Magic Mike’ is not the first strip themed film to make the leap to Broadway. In 2000 the British film ‘The Full Monty’ was given a makeover and turned into a musical.
