The Full Monty | Drury Lane Water Tower
Chicago, Illinois | 2005
The Full Monty (the smash Broadway musical also based on the 1997 film of the same name) is the hilarious and heartfelt story of Jerry Lukowski, an unemployed father who needs to raise some quick cash to maintain custody of his son. Together with five unemployed, out-of-shape steel-mill workers from Buffalo, this unlikely group of lovable misfits hatch a desperate plan to get their lives back together requiring them to triumph over their fears, their nerves and their clothes. With a touching and funny book by Tony Award-winner Terrence McNally (Ragtime, The Rink, Kiss of the Spider Woman) and a catchy pop score by David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), The Full Monty will have audiences wondering if they can really pull it off. Nominated for 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical and featuring an incredible contemporary songbook, this sweet and romantic story of the resilience of the human spirit is a modern musical tale of true friendship.
