In a post-industrial Buffalo, six laid-off steelworkers make an outrageous, last-ditch bargain: if they can’t earn a living the usual way, they’ll gamble on the one thing they still control, their own bodies. What begins as an unlikely strip act for quick cash becomes something far more revealing: a hard-won path back to self-respect, support for their families, and the kind of friendship that holds when pride falls away. Based on the cult-hit film and a ten-time Tony Award nominee, The Full Monty pairs razor-sharp humor with honest affection and an irresistible score, building to one of the most highly anticipated finales in musical theatre. As these men step into the spotlight, they learn that “baring it all” isn’t just literal. It’s emotional, too: a comic, awkward journey through shame, masculinity, and intimacy, toward a new sense of worth, together.

“It is simply a joy in every way… a show about what it takes to allow human beings to feel lovable, be loving, and be capable of accepting love.” — Talkin’ Broadway
