Its content ranges from Ginsberg’s highly personal poems to his reflections on various social issues, including the anti-war movement, the sexual revolution, drugs, eastern philosophy, and environmental awareness.

theatre 55 presents the full monty

The approximate run time of the event is 130 minutes including a 15 minute intermission.     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. While spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out,” a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they 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. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they’re stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to “let it go.”The Full Monty is a story full of heart. Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off. With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming, upbeat comedy is a must see.   Recommended for mature audiences due to strong language, themes of suicide, depression, and unemployment. Nudity is brief and non-sexual. The final scene is staged with backlighting, making the nudity silhouettes.   Theatre 55 is committed to creating a respectful and empowering production.     The ticket prices on this page reflect the face value price + $2.75 online Etix fee. Tickets are $20 – $40 if booked directly through the Ticket Office in person or by phone at: 651-690-6700. Credit card transactions will also be charged a 3% processing fee.
