LADIES ARE WITH US. NATALIE, JENNA AND THE
"GIRLFRIENDS' GUIDE TO FUN" SERIES.
>> TODAY, WE'RE TAKING YOU TO LAS VEGAS, TO CHECK OUT A NEW
SHOW THAT'S TAKING THE STRIP BY STORM.
>> I MUST SAY, GUYS. DO NOT WORRY.
WE KEPT IT P.G. THIS IS NOT GIRLS GONE WILD IN
VEGAS. MAGIC MIKE IS OPENING UP IN
VEGAS. AND WE GOT V.I.P. ACCESS FROM
THE MAN HIMSELF. FLIPPING, SPINNING, LEAPING.
THE MEN OF "MAGIC MIKE LIVE" DO IT ALL, INCLUDING SOME NOT
SUITABLE FOR MORNING TV MOVES. THIS UPDATED 21st CENTURY MALE
REVIEW WAS BASED ON THE "MAGIC MIKE" MOVIES, ABOUT A GROUP OF
EXOTIC DANCERS THAT MADE $300 MILLION AT THE BOX OFFICE.
GIRLFRIENDS GUIDE TO -- >> FANTASTIC FUN.
>> Reporter: CHANNING TATUM IS THE FORCE BEHIND THE MOVIES AND
NOW THE LIVE SHOW. WE'RE GIRLFRIENDS ON AN
ADVENTURE TOGETHER. SHE'S ON THE WEST COAST.
♪ REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD ♪
>> YOU HAVE A GOOD VOICE. >> WHAT IS THIS SHOW ABOUT?
AND HOW CLOSE IS THIS TO THE MOVIES?
>> I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S CLOSE TO THE MOVIES.
YOU WILL GET EVERYTHING AND THINGS THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
YOU WANTED. >> WHAT DO YOU HOPE IT BRINGS
GIRLFRIENDS? >> WE'VE REALLY WORKED HARD ON
KEEPING IT LIGHT AND FUN. MY NAME IS A BIT SYNONYMOUS WITH
STRIPPING, FOR BETTERTER OR WOR. I'M HAPPY THE WAY IT'S SHAKED
OUT. I WAS ASKING MYSELF, WHY DO I
WANT TO DO THIS? I WANT TO EMPOWER WOMEN.
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR WOMEN.
SO, CHANNING TURNED TO THESE
WOMEN TO EMPOWER THIS PROJECT. >> I LOVE THAT IT'S THREE WOMEN
TO ENVISION BEHIND WHAT THIS SHOW IS.
THE MESSAGE OF FEMALE EMPOWERMENT, THOUGH.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT TO THE AUDIENCE AND WHAT THEY GET OUT
OF THIS? >> I THINK THAT'S EVERYTHING.
WE'RE HOPING THAT WHEN WOMEN COME IN THIS ROOM, THEY LEAVE
FEELING EMPOWERED, EXCITED ABOUT THEIR LIVES.
>> WOMEN ARE SEEKING CONNECTION AND DEEP CONNECTION.
BEING UNDERSTOOD. AND SO, THIS SHOW HAS BEEN
CREATED AROUND THAT PREMISE. >> WITH THESE GUYS, WHAT CAN WE
EXPECT TO SEE? >> THEY'RE TALENTED.
THEY HAVE PERSONALITY. THEY HAVE CHARISMA.
>> BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED, WE WERE ABLE TO MEET THE DANCERS
AND COMEDIENNE LINDSAY HALEY, WHO SERVES AS THE MASTER OF
CEREMONIES. >> THIS IS FOR MY DAD.
>> THIS ONE IS FOR MY DAD. >> I'M CRYING.
YOU ARE RUINING MY FAKE EYELASHES.
>> HOW MANY HAD YOUR MOMS IN THE AUDIENCE?
>> MY MOM AND MY GRANDMOTHER. >> WHAT DID THEY THINK?
>> THEY LOVED IT. >> CHANNING IS NOT IN THE SHOW.
BUT DURING OUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR, WE CAJOLED HIM INTO
SHOWING OFF THE MOVES THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS.
>> GO. KARATE.
>> DROP MIC. >> THEN, WE IMPRESSED HIM WITH
OURS. >> GOLFING.
>> OR TRIED TO. >> THAT'S --
>> NATALIE, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. >> ALL RIGHT.
I'M WITH THAT. BOWLING.
>> OH. >> COME ON.
>> WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT?
>> THAT'S -- JUST GETTING THE BALL.
>> SHE BOWLS IN A VERY INTERESTING WAY.
>> WITH CHANNING GETTING US IN THE SPIRIT --
>> LADIES, DO WE FEEL POWERFUL? >> IT WAS TIME TO SEE "MAGIC
MIKE LIVE" FOR OURSELVES. EVEN BECOMING PART OF THE SHOW.
>> LET ME BORROW YOU FOR A SECOND.
>> THAT LEFT US INSPIRED. >> MAGIC MIKE LIVE" THANK YOU.
GIVE IT UP FOR JENNA AND NATALIE OF THE "TODAY" SHOW.
>> WHAT A WEEK. >> THAT'S ALL WE DID.
THAT'S ALL WE DID. >> YOU NEED TO CLARIFY WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN THAT MOMENT. >> I SAT ON THE PIANO WHEN THEY
SONG. AND JENNA WAS SERENADED.
>> I BLUSHED A LOT. I'M NOT A POLLYANNA.
BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF BLUSHING GOING ON.
>> THIS IS MY IMPERSONATION OF YOU WITH CHANNING TATUM.
>> WHY DON'T YOU SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH HIM AND SEE HOW YOU
ACT. >> HUBBA, HUBBA.
>> MATT, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING?
>> I KNOW THIS IS VERY PERILOUS. BUT IN THE PIECE YOU TALK
ABOUT -- THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY HOPE WOMEN WILL LEAVE THAT
FEELING EMPOWERED. >> YES.
>> DO YOU THINK THAT IF MEN WERE TO GO TO A FEMALE REVIEW, WHERE
THE WOMEN BECAME SCLANTLY CLAD THAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY THE MEN
LEAVE EMPOWERED? >> IT IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF
SHOW. THEY HAVE A FEMALE COMEDIAN WHO
TAKES THEM ON A JOURNEY. >> AND IT'S CREATED BY WOMEN.
>> THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT IT UP, IS CARSON CALLED ME AND
ASKED ME THE QUESTION. >> I THINK YOU RAISE A FAIR
POINT. >>
