The Full Monty

"All I needed was a heap of beefcake on a platter."

Six unemployed Buffalo steelworkers, low on both cash and prospects, decide to present a strip act at a local club after seeing their wives' enthusiasm for a touring company of "professionals." As they prepare for the show, working through their fears, self-consciousness, and anxieties, the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to face their demons and overcome them. The brilliant book and the rocking score are alternately touching, laugh out loud funny and need we say ... SEXY!
