From the unemployment line to the self-made man, The Full Monty bares it all! The Full Monty is a side-splitting musical that follows Jerry, Dave and pals, part of a group of unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York. With their backs to the wall, they decide to create a male strip show to help pay their mortgages and provide for their families after layoffs.
Facing economic — and in some cases personal — disaster, and their insecurities, these taboo-busting boys bare their souls and their bodies. Thanks to a hearty blue-collar work ethic, they happily abandon the daily unemployment grind for a different kind of grind, stripping off the layers of toxic masculinity to reflect the true ingenuity of the American spirit — gettin’ it done!
Throw any old thing on top of your birthday suit, and join us for this empowering tale that proves the naked truth that anything can be accomplished with the right mix of friends and courage. The songs in this 10-time Tony Award nominee capture the spirit of the ’90s, delivering the goods with songs like “You Rule My World” and inspiring lyrics in “Breeze Off the River”.
