In case you needed something to look forward to in an effort to beat the winter blues, October promises the "ultimate girls' night out," replete with serious dance moves, muscles, and magic. Magic Mike Live is coming to New York City, and it aims to be everything you didn't know you needed.

The live show was created and directed by the original Magic Mike star Channing Tatum—and co-directed and choreographed by Emmy-nominated choreographer Alison Faulk with choreographer and associate director Luke Broadlick. The show is being produced by Free Association Live, and the New York cast will be led by Sebastian Melo Taivera as Mike.

"This all started as a crazy idea 10 years ago, and look at it now," Tatum told Playbill. "When we were coming up with the concept for our original show, we first came to the streets of New York City, where I hid in a secret confession booth we set up in Midtown and asked women what they really want. Not just in a show, but in life. They shared some deeply powerful things. That insight helped us create our shows in Vegas, London, and all over the world. With 10 years of experience and surrounding ourselves with a team of strong and creative women, we're now coming back to where it all started in New York."

Tatum also stopped by the TODAY Show to announce the news and surprise fans with free tickets.

"I'm so excited to be back here in New York, where everything started for me," he said. "We've been working on this project for about 10 years now. We've gone all over the world, and we're finally getting to bring Magic Mike Live to New York City."

The 90-minute Magic Mike Live production will begin performances on October 8 in a custom-built venue in New York City at 268 West 47th Street. Opening night is set for October 22.
