IT’S LADIES NIGHT OUT ALL OVER AMERICA!

MALE REVUE SHOW CREATED BY 98 DEGREES’ JEFF
TIMMONS AND EMMY-NOMINATED CHOREOGRAPHER GLENN
DOUGLAS PACKARD— KICKS OFF NOVEMBER WITH
ITS ‘SNEAK PEEK’ NORTH AMERICAN PROMOTIONAL TOUR

They say everything’s bigger in Texas – including those Ladies Nights Out and the ever-building excitement for “Men on the Strip,” a phenomenon in the making that’s quickly redefining sexy for a whole new era!

The Lone Star State was the perfect choice for the first weekend of November launch of the franchise’s highly anticipated North American promotional tour, which hit Coach Joe’s Hat Tricks in Lewisville November 1 and The Concert Pub North in Houston November 2.

The tour is sponsored by Go Tie (https://thegotie.com/) and Radii Footwear (http://www.radiifootwear.com/)

“Good Morning Texas,” the popular morning show on WFAA in Dallas-Fort Worth, helped get the party started with a five and a half minute feature segment featuring a steamy group dance performance by the multi-talented stars of the show and an interview with co-creator Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees.

Timmons and one of the Men also praised the immense contributions of the show’s co-creator, Emmy nominated choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard.

A hip, contemporary re-imagining of the male revue, “Men of the Strip” next took its promo tour up to Tulsa, OK (Vanguard Theater, November 3) and Colorado, where they stopped at Cactus Canyon in Greeley (November 6) and the Electric Cowboy in Westminster (November 7).

In the months leading up to the launch of “Men of the Strip” on the Vegas Strip, each of the performers will be creating their own individual brands in addition to helping develop the branding of the franchise.

In addition to introducing the Men of the Strip, these events, scheduled to run through the holiday season, will include performances by host Timmons (who will perform his own original music plus hits from 98 Degrees) and a few steamy, high-energy numbers with the Men of the Strip cast to tease the mega-show coming to Las Vegas.

Women who can’t wait for the tour to hit their town can work themselves into a frenzy watching the intimate yet explosive Sizzle Reel for the reality docu-series (http://menofthestrip.com/videos/sizzle82613.mp4) and the Behind the Scenes Calendar shoot: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kt0ReI2XT8).

A second leg of the tour, scheduled for 2014, will be announced at a later date. In conjunction with these live events, Timmons, Packard and their team are also developing a fascinating, behind the scenes “docu-series” about the creation and development of “Men of the Strip” and the real lives of the eight performers.

Even as Timmons and his team continue to develop the full stage show, their branding of “Men of the Strip” has begun with the marketing of a 16-month 2014 calendar with a bonus centerfold poster – which offers an exclusive first look into the cast at their sexiest moments. The calendar retails for $14.95 and is available at www.menofthestrip.com.

Packard and his team embarked on months of scouting across the U.S. and beyond to cast the perfect eight performers for the opening launch of “Men of the Strip”: former college football star Chris Boudreaux (from Las Vegas); group fitness trainer Dwayne Baldwin (from Manhasset, NY); Radiology Technologist Garo Bechirian (from Cambridge, MA); minor league ballplayer turned Latin soap star Joel Sajion (from the Dominican Republic); stage actor Keith Webb (from Philadelphia); veteran Vegas stage performer Kyle Efthemes (originally from Chesapeake, VA); wrestler in training Nate Estimada (from San Jose); and Jiu-jitsu trainer Charles Dera (also from Philly).

“From the promotional tour to the TV series to the stage show, what we’re showing is the same—talented guys with real lives having a blast performing and getting incredible reactions from women who are just out to have a good time,” Timmons says. “I’m attracted to the reality of women with normal, mainstream lives going out and getting dirty for a night, hanging out with our guys, who fuel their fantasies while remaining wholesome and normal themselves in their lives offstage.”
