The Full Monty at Little Theatre of Norfolk

In this Americanized musical stage version adapted from the 1997 British film of the same name, six unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York, seeing how much their wives enjoy watching male strippers during their “Girls’ Night Out,” come up with a bold way to make some quick cash. In the process they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship and the ability to have fun. As the guys work through their fears, self-consciousness, feelings of worthlessness and anxieties (over everything from being overweight to child custody, bigotry to being gay), 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.
