Magic Mike tipped for Broadway

Channing Tatum's stripper movie Magic Mike is to be adapted for the Broadway stage.

The actor plays an exotic dancer in the saucy new film, which was based in part on his own experiences stripping for cash in Florida when he was 19 years old.

Now Magic Mike is heading to the theatre - screenwriter and producer Reid Carolin has revealed plans to bring the stripper tale to the Big Apple.

Carolin tells USA Today, "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."

British actor Alex Pettyfer, who plays Tatum's stripping protege, would love to make an appearance in the show with the rest of the film's cast, which includes Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello.

He says, "I think we should all do the opening night."
