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. The powerhouse team of Terrence McNally (Ragtime) and David Yazbek (Tootsie) cooks up.

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 an absolute don't-miss-it event!

"I'm so excited to be able to direct a show written by two of my idols David Yazbeck and Terrence McNally," stated Evan Pappas, director of The Full Monty and Arygle Artistic Director. "The Full Monty remains one of my favorite musicals ever since I saw the original Broadway production. I love these characters that everyone can relate to and root for. And in the end it's just plain fun and a rousing good time when these guys bare every part of themselves. Can't wait to bring it to Babylon."
