Lyrics and music by David Yazbek.
This heart-warming comedy centers on six out of work and out of shape steel workers. Jerry, Dave and their buddies all desperately need money. So they hatch a scheme to put on a show when they see the enthusiasm the local gals have for the male strippers who have come to town. As the guys work through their fears, self-consciousness, feelings of worthlessness and anxieties, they come to discover that not only are they stronger as a group, but that the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to face their demons and overcome them.

There is great heart to THE FULL MONTY, and the ultimate themes expressed in the show, about taking charge of one’s life and following one’s dreams are great lessons for all of us. Filled with “razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this is a one-of-a-kind musical that bares its soul to reveal its heart.

Due to language and subject material, recommended for ages 13 and up.
