BWW Review: Due To The Success In Rio, OU TUDO OU NADA (The Full Monty) Opens In Sao Paulo In Short Season At Theatro NET SP
The Brazilian stage production of the musical created out from one of the great movie box office hits in the 1990s - The Full Monty - conquered the cariocas in their season of 5 months, directed by Tadeu Aguiar and Portuguese version by Artur Xexeo. In this musical production version, with a book by Terrence McNally and score by David Yazbek, six unemployed steelworkers, low on both cash and prospects, decide to present a strip act at a local club after seeing their wives' enthusiasm for a touring company of Chippendales-type club. One of them, Jerry, declares that their show will be better than the Chippendales dancers because they'll go 'the full monty'-strip all the way. As they prepare for the show, working through their fears, self-consciousness, and anxieties, they overcome their inner demons and find strength in their camaraderie.
