Magic Mike headed to Broadway

Steve Soderbergh‘s male stripper flick Magic Mike might be headed to the Great White Way.

Producer and screenwriter Reid Carolin has told USA Today of plans to turn it into a Broadway show.

“[It] would be a different story, more of a romp, more of a fun night out at a club with a story. I’m almost more excited about that than the movie because I think it’s the perfect thing for women to go see on Broadway, to be participants in the show.”

The film is inspired by lead Channing Tatum‘s own experience as a young stripper, and co-stars Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer, Matthew McConaughey, Olivia Munn and Cody Horn.

It hits Australian cinemas July 26, 2012.
