“It’s crazy to think that the only reason I started dancing is because of Channing, and now he’s sort of my boss,” says Jake Brewer, who’s been a part of 'Magic Mike Live' since the London show opened in 2018.
shot in London last spring, they traded the stage for the set.
“For me the pressure is that, for a live show, it’s an hour and a half, and then it’s gone. But a movie is forever,” says Manley. “Butwas so great to work with, because he really wanted everyone to get everyone in the mood and create the atmosphere of the show on set, and then he'd start rolling the camera. For the movie to be about putting on a good show, that positive atmosphere is just as—if not more—necessary as it is in the theater.
But with Mike’s on-screen journey coming to a close, what does it mean for the future of the live show? The men are optimistic that the show can continue to innovate—after COVID-19 forced its closure for nearly a year,returned with a refreshed look and all-new routines, and the 10 shows a week frequently sell out. The nature of the show means the cast get to perform different roles and frequently find themselves taking on new skills.
“There are differences in your experience at the show even if you just sit in a different seat,” explains Manley. “Then depending where you see the show—Vegas doesn’t have a tap number, instead of a guitar solo there’s a drum solo. When the show was in Berlin, their performer Carlos had a saxophone solo—it was the sexiest thing in the world. And then when you compare the show now to where it was when it began, it’s definitely changed a lot.
