It’s like a Tony Robbins empowerment rally for today’s women with more than a hint of testosterone. Female members of the audience are repeatedly told that they are powerful, free and enough. Guided by MC Sophie Linder-Lee, this is a modern take on women’s desires, keywords like trust, consent, and personal space abound. Old stereotypes are quickly dispelled and the audience is treated to a 90-minute floorshow with men aplenty bumping and grinding their way through some incredibly sexy routines. There is no getting around the fact that this is a glorified strip show of a kind, except the men on show, don’t show as much as many shows of its kind that have come before. On a miserable London evening, 300 women, 8 men and I found ourselves in the redesigned Matcham Room at London’s Hippodrome Casino to catch the much-hyped Magic Mike Live created and directed by the man himself Channing Tatum.
