After thrilling nearly two million guests worldwide, Magic Mike Live will bring its all-new flagship production to New York City this fall. Created and co-directed by Channing Tatum, the global stage sensation begins performances Thursday, October 8, with an official opening night on Thursday, October 22, in a newly renovated, multi-function, and custom-built venue one block from Times Square (268 West 47th Street).

Producers are pleased to share that Tess Tregellas and Sara Spadacene were handpicked by Channing Tatum to share the role of “MC” in the New York City production following a lengthy audition process.

Tregellas and Spadacene join an impressive ensemble cast with credits spanning film, TV, Broadway and West End theater, and live performances with some of the biggest names in entertainment including Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, P!NK,  Usher, and more.

When Tatum and the creative team created Magic Mike Live, they knew that the only way to make this show truly for women would be to have a woman at the center of it all. The MC leads the audience through the evening, embarking on her own journey as she and an unassuming waiter, aptly named “Mike,” discover together what it is that women truly want.

Tess Tregellas is a stand-up comedian, content creator, and hopeless romantic. You may recognize her from viral videos for Betches or from footage of her sprinting through NYC in a wedding dress, including a half-marathon in a gown that was featured in the New York Post. Named a “Content Creator to Watch” at the New York Comedy Festival, her videos have racked up millions of views and a growing following. She has toured internationally, most recently performing in the sold-out Stand Up Magic US tour and at the Edinburgh Fringe this past summer. She is currently working on her solo show called EPIC about her experience as a hopeless romantic dating in NYC to open in July 2026.

Sara Spadacene is a proud Pittsburgh native, Ariana Grande-lover, and passionate rescue animal advocate. Her TV credits include: "Beauty in Black" directed by Tyler Perry, "Matlock" opposite Kathy Bates, "Dexter: Original Sin", "Dynasty", "Mad About You", "S.W.A.T." and "Reasonable Doubt". LA Theatre: title of show, The Maiden's Prayer, The Murder of Crows and Straight Talk. Most recently, Sara produced and acted as “Cunningham” in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at Hollywood’s Theatre 68. Sara is a New American Theatre ensemble member under the direction of Jack Stehlin, and a musical theatre graduate of Elon University.  Sara produces short films with her production company Argyle Gargoyle, creators of award-winning films What Do We Do? and Meet Rude. Last, but certainly not least, Sara is the author of the children's picture book, “Squirrel Patrol: A Tail of UnCommon Friendship,” releasing in fall 2026. 

"The MC is the catalyst for each guest's journey at Magic Mike Live" said Executive Producer Vincent Marini. "Every MC in the show's history has brought something unique to the role, and Channing challenged us to find the perfect voices for New York. Magic Mike Live is about empowering our audiences to go after everything they want in life, and Tess and Sara are living proof of what that looks like. They are strong, they are hilarious, and they will be the perfect complement to our extraordinary company of artists and performers."
