The Full Monty at Manchester Opera House

Why see The Full Monty?

The play that bares it all

Based on the hit Brit-flick, The Full Monty follows a group of unemployed men who decide to try their hand at something very different to pay the bills. Adapted from his screenplay, Simon Beaufoy's play celebrates the 25th anniversary of the film premiere, taking us back to where it all began. Featuring a raft of 90s hits and a story full of humour and heart, The Full Monty only gains relevance in our tough times.

What is the story?

Stuck waiting to cash their dole with no job prospects in sight, two pals, Jerry and Dave are struck with inspiration from an unlikely source; their own wives' excitement at a local Chippendales engagement. Figuring they might be able to create their own, even racier version, they set about gathering a dance troupe with hilarious results.
