Creator and director Channing Tatum said of the Australian show: ‘The morning after we opened our first production in Vegas four years ago, we all talked about the crazy idea of someday putting Magic Mike Live in a tent and traveling around Australia.
‘The fact that it’s actually happening now is mind-blowing to me.’

While Channing won’t appear in the shows, Magic Mike Live features 20 performers, including 15 ‘of the most talented male dancers in the world’.
During an appearance on Sunrise last year with Magic Mike’s choreographer, Channing confessed he wouldn’t be performing in the show because of his ‘dad bod’.
‘[I’ve got a] dad bod, man! I got a kid now, this is what it is,’ he said, referring to his six-year-old daughter, Everley, whom he shares with ex-wife Jenna Dewan.
Tickets for Magic Mike Live are available now.
