Here's a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today.

Vegas to Get Magic Mike Before Broadway
We're not entirely sure what this project means for the Broadway-aimed Magic Mike musical, but it is an excuse for us to write about Channing Tatum, which is never a bad thing. Looks like before the tuner from Tom Kitt, Brian Yorkey and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, which had a reading at the end of last year with Hamilton's Christopher Jackson and Jon Rua, sees the light of day, a "strip tease spectacular" will land in Vegas. In the below video, which includes shirtless men and puppies (of course it does), Tatum reveals that Magic Mike Live is heading to the Hard Rock in March 2017. Fingers crossed the musical is still in development!
