The hilarious Broadway musical THE FULL MONTY previews July 16, opens July 23, and runs through September 21 at The Marriott Theatre, 10 Marriott Drive.
Originally inspired by the 1997 Academy Award-winning film, this heart-warming comedy centers around 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. But Jerry realizes that they will have to offer something "different," like going "The Full Monty!" Will they triumph over their fears, their nerves and their zippers? 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.
THE FULL MONTY was nominated for nine Tony Awards in 2001, including Best Musical. The same year it was the recipient of ten Drama Desk Award nominations and the winner of the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music. The show features a book by Tony Award-winner
Terrence McNally (Ragtime, The Rink, Kiss of the Spider Woman), and a catchy, modern pop score by
David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels).
