Thousands of extra tickets are being released for the eagerly-anticipated London season of Channing Tatum’s Magic Mike Live which will debut at the Hippodrome Casino in November.
With most of the shows for the first six months of the run sold out, Tatum and his co-producers have announced nearly 10,000 previously held tickets will be made available. Extra tickets will be on sale for every performance currently on sale with 20 extra performances also added to the month of January.
The new ticket allocation was announced at the same time as producers unveiled the multi-national cast for the London shows. The UK contingent includes: Samantha Baines, Jake Brewer, Harry Carter, Pip Hersee, Sophie Linder-Lee, Jack Manley, David Morgan, Ross Sands, Dean Stewart, Manny Tsakanika and Aaron Witter. The cast will also feature Daniel Ralph from France, Antonio Donadio and Sebastián Melo Taveira from Italy, Maxwell Trengove from Australia and Brian Siregar from the USA.
Announced by Hollywood superstar actor Tatum during the final of Britain’s Got Talent earlier this year, the show which launched in Las Vegas last year will begin previewing at the Leicester Square venue on 10 November 2018 ahead of an opening night on 28 November.
Based on Tatum’s hit films Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL, the show which was conceived by the star will take over the Theatre within the Hippodrome which will be transformed into a 325-seat performance space with its own bespoke entrance off Cranbourn Street.
Designed to offer a lounge and bar experience, ticket holders who must be over 18 will enter Magic Mike’s Club Domina to watch a show which will combine ‘360-degree dance and acrobatic performances with one-of-a-kind acts’.
Magic Mike Live in London will be co-directed by Tatum and by one of the show’s choreographers Alison Faulk. The creative team also includes associate director and choreographer Teresa Espinosa and choreographer Luke Broadlick, with production design by Rachel O’Toole, scenic design by Rob Bissinger and Anita LaScala (Arda Studio), costume design by Marina Toybina, lighting design by Philip Gladwell and video design by Luke Halls. The show’s musical supervisor is Jack Rayner, sound design is by Nick Kourtides, Dreya Weber is the show’s aerial choreographer and aerial apparatus designer.
The executive producer is Vincent Marini with general management by David Ian Productions. Production management is by Simon Gooding and Matt Jones and casting is by Jason Styres CSA. The show is currently booking until 27 October 2019.
