Drop everything for THE FULL MONTY!

This heartwarming, upbeat comedy tells the story of a motley crew of out-of-work steelworkers who parlay the stir that a touring Chippendales-style strip act provokes among the local women. As they triumph over their fears, their nerves and their clothes – they also restore their wounded self-esteem, build new friendships, take charge of their lives and show the world what they’re made of!
