The Full Monty - 2000 Broadway History , Info & More

The Full Monty bursts onto the stage with a hilarious blend of humor, heart, and a healthy dose of male vulnerability. Set in a depressed steel town in Sheffield, England, the story follows a group of unemployed men facing financial hardship and a crisis of masculinity. Gaz, a charismatic but down-on-his-luck former factory worker, witnesses the newfound confidence of his wife after attending a Chippendales performance.



Inspired by this unexpected revelation, Gaz hatches a daring plan – to form an all-male striptease act, "The Full Monty." Initially met with skepticism and apprehension, Gaz rallies his reluctant friends, each with their own insecurities and anxieties about baring it all (literally!). Through a series of hilarious rehearsals, the men overcome their self-consciousness and develop a newfound sense of camaraderie and support for each other.



The Full Monty is more than just a show about stripping. It's a story about male bonding, the courage to step outside your comfort zone, and the importance of friendship in the face of adversity. The catchy score blends pop, rock, and traditional British music, perfectly capturing the humor and emotional journey of the characters. With its uplifting message of overcoming challenges and celebrating self-acceptance, The Full Monty leaves you with a smile and a newfound appreciation for the power of male camaraderie.
