The Full Monty

The American stage version of the 1997 British film The Full Monty returns to Hull, for one week only.

This amateur production follows six unemployed Buffalo steelworkers, low on both cash and prospects, as they decide to present a strip act at a local club after seeing their wives’ enthusiasm for a touring company of Chippendales. 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.

Featuring original music and all the fun of the original film with book by Terrence McNally and score by David Yazbeck.

Presented under amateur performance rights, the last time this version of the show hit the New Theatre stage it sold out!
