Producers statement: THE FULL MONTY is a wonderfully funny, touching and well written show full of the best of human spirit. However in some places the script's language is appropriately “blue collar rough” for character and story development. Additionally, some male adult roles require partial but tasteful nudity. Auditionees and patrons are encouraged to research THE FULL MONTY online to eliminate any questions of content. Rating: For mature and/or theatre savvy audiences.
We are proud to produce this heartwarming, humorous, feel-good musical about friendship, fatherhood and marriage. We hope all who are exposed to THE FULL MONTY embrace the show's ultimate theme of what happens when friends, family and strangers reach out to each other in times of need.
