According to the report, his production company Free Association is launching a new division called FA Live, which will create, produce and distribute live entertainment. The show will be the first project for the new branch of the company, and is planned to debut in mid-2023.

The Step Up show will feature choreographers from the Magic Mike franchise Alison Faulk and Luke Broadlick as directors of dance, and is described as “similar” to the Magic Mike Live performances, intending to extend the story of the film series. It will also be performed in an “immersive, custom-built venue.”

There will also be a new dance academy for young people of all abilities to learn from the choreographers. The new live show promises to introduce an entirely new creative narrative to the series.

“After building out five productions of Magic Mike Live on three continents since 2017, our FA Live team is excited to now turn their creative talents to Lionsgate’s beloved dance franchise Step Up. We’re thrilled to be able to bring the experience and knowledge we’ve developed creating custom venues and one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences,” said FA’s Peter Kiernan.
