The Full Monty, based on the international hit film, is a grin and bare-it-all musical comedy that tells the story of a dispirited group of unemployed steel workers in Buffalo, New York, who are desperate to make some quick cash. Jerry, a divorced father behind in his child-support, convinces the gang to become male strippers at a local club. With an hilarious and insightful book by Terrence McNally and a swinging score by David Yazbek, The Full Monty will have you cheering for Jerry and his friends as they go all the way to conquer their fears and take charge of their lives.

The Full Monty brings an all-star cast to the Paper Mill stage, including Elaine Stritch (Jeanette Burmeister), Wayne Wilcox (Jerry Lukowski), Joe Coots (Dave Bukatinsky), Michael Rupert (Harold Nichols), Milton Craig Nealy (Noah "Horse" T. Simmons), Jenn Colella (Georgie Bukatinsky), Michele Ragusa (Vicki Nichols), Kelly Sullivan (Pam Lukowski), Jason Babinsky (Ethan Girard), Allen E. Read (Malcolm MacGregor).
