The Story
While spying on their wives at a "Girls' Night Out," a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo see how much the women enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work, and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash - a strip show of their own. Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show.
Music
With music and lyrics by David Yazbek, The Full Monty has crowd pleasing tunes like 'Life with Harold' and 'Breeze off the River'
Content
Were it a movie, The Full Monty would be rated R, with coarse language, adult themes and nudity.

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a couple years now; whenever we want to see a good show. I absolutely love this place. Everyone is super friendly and they always let u know just how much they appreciate your business. We went and saw The Full Monty last night and it is now my new favorite!!!! Definitely check it out. The show was alluring but also very comical; I couldn't stop laughing. The food is amazing 👏 😋 So make sure to get the dinner reservation when you book your ticket. I like how the menu changes and the food goes with the show. The attention to detail is impeccable.
We had a great time watching the Full Monty. Hilarious and entertaining.
"Both a tender story of relationships and a raucous comedy, "The Full Monty" is a decidedly cheeky good time."
