Sometimes you just have to bare everything ….
Based on the cult hit film of the same name, this 10-time Tony Award®-winning musical comedy will have you laughing and cheering all the way to its revealing ending!
While spying on their wives at a Girls' Night Out, a group of unemployed steelworkers are inspired to make some quick cash by forming a team of amateur male strippers with ‘real man’ bodies. But rehearsals aren’t easy, and in preparing for the big show, the guys find themselves fully exposed – physically and emotionally. Can these lovable misfits really pull it off?
Find out for yourself in this boisterous, fun-filled pop-rock musical send-up of gender expectations and stereotypes. With its winning mix of razor-sharp humour and engaging melodies, and a sweet message about leaning into friendship to overcome your fears, The Full Monty is an outrageously fun production that will charm the pants off you.
Recommended for ages 16 and up.
This production contains strong language, adult themes, sensitive subject matter, and partial nudity.
Running Time: 2 hours and 45 minutes, including 20 minute intermission
the show captures your interest from the moment it starts right to the end. Though the original movie was not a musical, the songs were appropriate and well placed within the play. The talent level of these actors was a 5. The singing was the best I've ever heard and the characters genuine. This was the most enjoyable play I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend it for anyone. Even the men in the audience seemed to enjoy it.

Well done. Fun, funny....I laughed out loud many times. Touched on many relevant topics of today. Everything was done very tasteful. Raw emotions on being unemployed, and what it does to a man and his relationships. Highly recommend The Full Monty.
